5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, great quality and big!The box came with no scratches on it. Just finished the sorting process and all peaces are in excellent shape no bent or damaged ones in my box what was big surprise since it’s so heavy.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2013This puzzle is huge! Be sure to measure your working space -- in my case it was a dining room table -- before buying this puzzle. I'd also recommend bringing in card tables or pieces of cardboard to separate the puzzle into more manageable sections.
There is a decent variation of colors which makes this puzzle enjoyable. Of course, Ravensburger puzzles are high quality and in my opinion, well worth the money. The pieces "click" satisfyingly when assembled, so it's near impossible to accidentally put the wrong two pieces together.
Just FYI, I completed it in 2.5 months amidst working a full-time job, but everyone's speed is different.
We hung this puzzle on the dining room wall- some tips for mounting it:
1. Flip the puzzle upside down in sections with the aid of a cookie sheet and reassemble the sections upside down.
2. Measure carefully -- it is NOT EXACTLY 60"x40" when assembled! It's something like 60.25"x40.75".
3. I got a piece of foam core board with one adhesive side from a local sign shop, costing approximately $40. They cut it exactly to size.
4. Peel off the sticky backing and carefully lower the board, sticky side down, onto your upside-down puzzle. This is a 2 person job.
5. Press down firmly all over to stick all the pieces to the board.
6. Use multiple 3M Command Strips to stick the puzzle to the wall. I used the 2-part "picture hanging" strips
7. I put Hercules Hooks underneath and above the puzzle to take some weight off of the Command Strips, and as a safety should the strips fail. However, this seems unnecessary since 6 months later the strips are holding up fine.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2014Just finished this puzzle today. It sat on a dining room table that was just the right size for it and working on it every now and then (but not overly long at once) I was able to complete it in little under a month and a half.
Build quality is good and each piece is cut uniquely enough that there is little worry of two pieces fitting in the same place though it happened to me 3 times towards the end. That was very minor. Color and gradients are spot on.
Framing this monster is going to be slightly annoying due to it being slightly bigger than most common frames and frame glass sold out there. As such everything is custom. I will be going to a hardware store to get some wood and I'll make a quick frame myself and use some board for the backing sans the glass as I believe that the pieces will hold up well once glued together. This can probably be done for under 50$ as opposed to custom frames that might range around 100 or higher.
Overall I highly recommend this puzzle though I am slightly discouraged from doing anything larger than 5k in the immediate future (had jumped from 3k a year or two ago) but who knows?

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2019Fun puzzle! With so many pieces, yes, there are duplicate shapes, but mostly the coloration is different enough to no t be a problem. So, I’ll say 4.5 stars because the quality is really nice, and I’ll award 5 stars when I find a large puzzle with entirely unique pieces. There was one place that I thought looked a little off, then in my last 10 pieces I realized I needed to switch some around, but not a big deal. Hey, I finished with every piece, so that’s a win. I’ll probably glue it and will consider another large Ravensburger.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2018Awesome quality puzzle! The pieces are nice and sturdy and do not bend if they get caught with each other. Love the soft click! Very nice to puzzle the picture. Going forward, Ravensburger is the brand I'll choose.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2017Recently finished this puzzle, it took me about four months to complete. I was not a huge fan of this puzzle. Ravensburger prides itself on puzzle pieces that interlock well and that no two pieces are alike. Well, this was not really the case for me with this puzzle. There were a couple sections of this puzzle (the sky sections just to the left and to the right of the tower where a whole group of pieces interlocked perfectly and interchangeably with each other's sections on both sides, so it was almost impossible to tell if you had the right piece in the right group because all the pieces around it fit perfectly, and the only difference was the slightly different sky coloring of each side. Also, the puzzle pieces did not interlock well, and it was almost impossible to lift up piece groupings for transport to other sections of the puzzle without them all falling apart en route. The puzzle itself was difficult because of the sheer scale and size of the puzzle, but it was certainly a great challenge. After finishing the puzzle, I was relieved to find that I was still speaking English after what had happened to the builders in the Bible story in Genesis... :)

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2012This was a gift to my wife, who is an avid jig saw puzzle fan. I also bought a 60" x 72" piece of felt from a local fabric store. Good thing. This puzzle is big. It will take her a while, and has proven to be a welcome challenge. I'm glad we have a table big enough to hold it. The image quality is excellent, and the puzzle pieces are very nice quality. There will be more Ravensburger puzzles in our future.
