I should have known before I purchased this puzzle that it would be on the boring and on the more difficult side to put together. The color pattern of the product is difficult and some of the puzzle pieces "seemingly" fit in other spots making it all the more difficult to master. Maybe if my wife and I ever get to the center of the puzzle where the color pattern is more to our liking then possibly we'll finish it. For now we set the puzzle aside while we work on another puzzle. We currently have no desire to try and continue putting this puzzle together.
