This one puzzle that I got from the “take one, leave one” jigsaw puzzle exchange at the local public library in the (college) town that I now live in, it was these slices of various citrus fruits arranged with space between them against a dark blue background, with occasional herb pieces scattered here and there among them and even tucked in behind them on occasion.
And, it looked so nice and bright on the box that it looked just perky and positively perfect to put together during the dead of winter, although when I first took it out and flipped over the pieces, it just didn’t look that bright at all, although I do admit that when you started assembling the citrus pieces, that’s when the colors really started to look brighter, although still not quite as bright as on the box.
Much worse than that, though, was the fit of the pieces, so many you would think fit in, but later you’d discover that one had been misplaced and the misfit was so imperceptible at the time that it only became apparent when you’d build out this whole section and there’d be a gap left near there and nothing would fit in there by it no matter what you did, and then you’d take a piece or two out and try other things and then you’d discover the rearranged, true fit.
Just a really, really shitty product, although the box certainly looked nice.
The manufacturer’s information said (China).
