I saw this in a Reddit post a couple of weeks ago, and immediately had to have it! As luck would have it, I was able to find and order one on sale for $6 within minutes. (It's still on sale as I type this! Go get it!) The art is beautiful, most definitely frame-worthy! It took significantly longer to assemble than I expected, as all the foliage wound up as little blobs of color on each puzzle piece. I knew going in that the flowers and grasses would be the most difficult part of the puzzle by a wide margin, but it was a good bit harder than I anticipated. This is easily the longest it's ever taken me to put together a 500 piecer, but the end result is well-worth it! I'll be keeping an eye out for other puzzles featuring Schlick's art in the future.
The quality is pretty much as expected from Buffalo, with thin, sturdy pieces that fit together well. I had no trouble with false fits, and there was little dust. The only QC issue I encountered was an assortment of uncut pieces, maybe a dozen or so altogether, that were still hanging together in pairs. Not a big deal, especially for the rock-bottom price. I had no trouble separating the puzzle into sections for easy reassembly later on, whenever I decide to frame & hang it. The puzzle hung together at least as well as a typical Ravensburger, and that's all I ask! A poster is included, and also features a brief bio of the artist.
