Springbok - Dream Garage - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle with classic muscle cars

FYI, the particular puzzle up for review is still on my puzzle board awaiting a frame, though I'm going to show you how to frame the puzzles if you'd like, using 2 other Springbok puzzles of the same size and all 1,000 pieces. Springbok puzzles are amazingly fun with beautiful pictures, bright graphics and 2 tricky corner pieces which require 2 pieces to create. AND, the ones I bought are all 1,000 piece, 24" x 30" and fit into a standard poster frame which you can buy for about $20 at Wally World or at your place of choice. These puzzles are a tight fit into the frames, at least the ones I bought, but the poster frames have a plastic sheet built on to them, so here's what I have done for the 2 puzzles I've assembled and given to my husband as gifts. (He lives in his own apt. across from mine, so he decorates and loves the retro cars, Route 66 stuff.) So once I have assembled the puzzles on my puzzle board, I put the dumby sheet of paper from the frame under the puzzle, BUT, in retrospect, I would buy the frame 1st if you can, and assemble the puzzle on top of the dumby picture paper included with the frame, because it's tricky the way I did it and would be easier to insert the cardboard under the puzzle with the paper under the puzzle and stuck to it from the Modge Podge. Then I put the cardboard backing of frame under the dumby sheet and puzzle which is also pretty tricky as the puzzle wants to fall apart. Please have patience! Once I have the puzzle and the dumby sheet and cardboard aligned as well as possible, I give the puzzle ONE good coat of Modge Podge, (I use the glossy so don't know what the matte looks like on these), and wait NO LONGER than 2 hrs. before framing. As soon as the Modge Podge is dry works best. There's a reason for this! Put the frame on the puzzle and turn upside down with the cardboard facing you. You will notice that the puzzle is just slightly larger than the frame, and you will need to manipulate the puzzle/cardboard into the frame, which is why you don't want the Modge Podge to set too long. The puzzle will bend a bit as you are manipulating it into the frame, so go slow and know you can do this! No need to worry about the puzzle falling apart, as there is the front plastic to keep it in place. This can be a bit tricky, but it CAN be done! Secure the puzzle into the frame with the metal tabs, turn over and smooth out the puzzle which may be irregular in spots. I just LOVE doing Springbok puzzles! My eyes are not good after many surgeries, so I love that the graphics are well defined and the puzzles larger than other brands. My only concern is price and wish they would charge competitively, though they ARE worth the price. Once framed, these look like actual pictures from a distance. The lighting is shading the pictures I've uploaded, though truly, they look really good, and my husband just loves them!

I love these classic Mopar GM puzzles. I was missing two pieces, but I wasn’t sure if my dog ate them and the company called me right back and told me they would be happy to replace the puzzle. Highly recommend and never forget, made in the USA!

We love putting puzzles together. We love the time spent and the size of the product. The quality of color is so good and the size is perfect. The only thing we wish is that the puzzle maker would put a complete paper picture inside the box.

Really cool picture which will become garage art after assembly and glue. The pieces are not as well cut as a previous puzzle by a different manufacturer but will suffice so quality is 85%. Difficulty is a 4 out a 5 for tuff.

I really like hot rod puzzles. I have about 30 puzzles. Great color, pieces fit real good. I usually get 1000 piece puzzles. I did buy a puzzle table on Amazon, did not last long. Hinges were too small and folding down just did not work. But that is another story. GREAT PUZZLE

2nd update: the company satisfactorily fixed my issue. Amazing company to work with! I like the size of the pieces for 1000 piece puzzle. They are not real tiny. I also like the pictures they offer Update: There was 1 piece missing. I am 100% sure that it wasn't lost because of where we put it together and it's only 2 of us in the house. Anything we can do? I love the puzzle and don't want a new one as it is completely put together. I really would like that missing piece. Besides that, it was a good challenging puzzle and I will be buying more.

This puzzle was fun. It was not too challenging but not too easy. When it was completed, it was a beautiful, colorful picture.

Fantastic puzzle quality

Used for personal entertainment and mental exercise.

This is a very poor quality puzzle. The pieces are made of very cheap cardboard making the pieces very hard to connect together - The cut of the pieces is also very bad - I do not recommend springbox puzzles. This will be the last time for me.

The cut was poorly made so the pieces had schredded edges and did not fit well, I had to return it.

I like it but feel the production of them need to find a way to make the cuts cleaner for invisible connection
