My niece wanted to choose my next puzzle, and selected a donut-themed one from my garage sale haul from a couple of weeks back. I had to decline doing it since it's a 2,000 piecer, and I currently don't have the space for one so large. I remembered that I had this one from an old Goodwill haul sitting in a cabinet, and she accepted it as a substitute. While not difficult, it was more challenging than I expected. There are many different colors and textures, but several are repeated in multiple areas, and some are very similar to one another. I got the edges done very quickly, then took far too long to do maybe 10% of the puzzle. It required far more sorting than I normally feel like doing, which resulted in me putting off returning to it for a few days. Once I finally sucked it up and did a much more thorough sort, I quickly finished the remaining 90%. I've done deeper sorting with other puzzles when it was necessary, but I just WAS NOT feeling it this past week!
I've found White Mountain to be a reliable brand with above average quality, and this was no exception. There were a couple of slightly bent pegs, but I chalk that up to it being put together previously. The pieces were clean, there no odors or hair, and no pieces were missing. For a cheap used puzzle, I call that a win!
