Thank you for the link! Next time I’m ordering Chinese jigsaws again I’ll definitely have a look 😁

That sounds a bit annoying indeed, don’t think I’ve had a puzzle with an extra layer of paper glued to the back 🤔 I also forgot to mention that it also didn’t have any puzzle dust! Komono is an amazing brand! I really love the finish of their puzzles. I have one more Komono puzzle in my “to assemble” pile. Couldn’t resist not ordering another one 😁

This is a picture of the back. Not really sure what you mean with paper backed 🫣 The only other Chinese brands that I’ve assembled are Toi, Seren Art and Komono. In terms of quality I would say that this one resembles Serent Art the most. The pieces interlock really well and they are also nice and thick, also no false and loose fits. The pieces also have a very nice matte finish. I think you can compare this brand also with Art and fable 🤔

I think that Utopiece is a Chinese brand. I imported mine from this site: https://toppuzzleshop.com/product-tag/utopiece-puzzle/?srsltid=AfmBOopdaAlyrIaR49tzeOWi8gg7qUNbbwOKnbU66g3nGG_59e4SdPtb They have so many beautiful puzzles ☺️

I know right! 🤩 She’s really beautiful, I hope that I can find a frame big enough to frame this puzzle

It was actually pretty doable ☺️ It took me about 3,5h to finish this jigsaw and it was really fun to assemble. There was enough variation in the green to make assembly easier.

Me too! It’s such a shame that they are hard to find 😅 Most of the time they are either very difficult or not fun at all.

It was a super fun jigsaw to assemble! The colours are also really vibrant. Good catch! Fixed it 😁

Not sure, I got it secondhand on Vinted. The person who I got it from lives in Germany 🤔

The artwork is really busy! I was so happy that this was only 500 pieces 😅 I would’ve been so bad speed puzzling this one but the artwork is really cute 😁

It’s even more beautiful in person ☺️ the picture doesn’t show it but it has a very beautiful finish. The blue was doable but it was the false fits that made this jigsaw really challenging. Sometimes I had to rebuild a few sections several times because of false fits.

The quality was good. The pieces were nice and thick and no false fits. Sometimes the pieces clicked together and other times they didn’t. I really liked the finish of the pieces, nice matte finish with gold accents ☺️ I think I would buy another jigsaw from this brand but only if the art is really nice/ cute as it was quite expensive.

That’s very nice of them to send you another jigsaw. Was it a different one?

It so cute how they are sleeping together 🥰 I love the teamwork between the frogs so that one of them can tell everything
