Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle XL 280 Piece (42x30cm) – Dragon Wood Puzzles for Adults Presented in Wooden Gift Box by The Puzzled Tree

Here's an informal mixed review of the Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle XL 271 Piece (50x26cm) – Owl Wooden Jigsaw for Adults:So, I recently got my hands on the Owl Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle because I’m a sucker for unique puzzles, and the whole “wooden” thing seemed cool. It’s 271 pieces, and the finished size is pretty decent at 50x26 cm. Here’s how it went:The Good:Beautiful Design: Let’s start with the obvious—the owl artwork is gorgeous! It has a lot of intricate details and vibrant colors, which makes it feel more like art than just a typical puzzle. Once it’s completed, it’s definitely frame-worthy.Quality Material: The wooden pieces feel nice and sturdy, unlike the flimsy cardboard ones you get in most puzzles. There’s something oddly satisfying about fitting them together, and they seem durable enough to last for a long time, even with multiple uses.Challenging: This isn’t a simple puzzle, and that’s a good thing if you’re looking for something more engaging. The unique shapes of the pieces (some are even shaped like tiny animals!) made it feel like a mental workout, which I enjoyed.The Not-So-Great:Piece Size: For an "XL" puzzle, the pieces are smaller than I expected. I figured they'd be big, but they're not much larger than your average puzzle piece, so it took a bit more time to handle them, especially when working on more detailed parts.Tricky to Solve: While the unique shapes are fun, they also make it harder than your typical jigsaw. It’s easy to get stuck in certain areas since the pieces don’t follow a predictable shape. If you’re expecting a relaxing, easy-going puzzle, you might get a little frustrated.Pricey: It’s definitely on the pricier side compared to regular puzzles. I get that it’s made of wood and has that premium feel, but if you’re just looking for a quick weekend puzzle, this might feel like a splurge.Bottom Line: If you love puzzles and want something that feels a bit more premium, this owl jigsaw is a solid choice. It’s challenging and looks stunning when completed, but it’s not the easiest puzzle to put together, and the price might make you think twice. Would I recommend it? Sure, if you’re really into puzzles and don’t mind putting in the extra effort!

I don't often write reviews, but was moved to do so after completing this wonderful jigsaw by The Puzzled Tree. Although only 300 pieces, I found this really quite challenging and very enjoyable - at least as difficult as a standard 500-piece jigsaw. The pieces are all sorts of weird and wonderful shapes, which is a nice change from the standard rectangular cardboard jigsaw pieces, and the mesmerising range of colours and designs on each piece makes this a very engrossing puzzle. Being a wooden puzzle, the pieces fit together very nicely, and I like that the 'ins and outs' of the pieces are different shapes, which adds to the challenge. I see that The Puzzled Tree also plant a tree through One Tree Planted for every jigsaw sold, which is a nice touch. So if you're a bit bored with standard jigsaws, I'd recommend giving one of these a try - you won't be disappointed.

Well made, nice packaging, good colours...

As I am not generally a jigsaw person, the jewellike colours of the Unidragon ones attracted me. This, not so much but cheaper and pretty intricate. Nice pieces in tomahawk shapes, jungle animals, totem poles etc as well as very intricate random pieces so its not easy. Now complete: This puzzle is med to hard difficulty because the picture is small compared to the puzzle & there are quite a lot of similar colours, altho not exactly the same patterns. I have one problem with it & it is a frustrating one. The cut is, to my mind, too deep so the pieces are quite loose & I have had more that one occasion where a whole section has broken up by simply moving it to fit a piece in

Fun and colourful puzzles, great quality in design and detail.

Great fun. Quite a difficult jigsaw but worth doing

I bought this puzzle as a gift. It is beautifully presented in a wooden box, and is a well crafted puzzle. However, there are a few pieces missing which is such a shame.

Excellent quality jigsaw, beautifully made, challenging enough to be satisfying without being frustrating.
