The easiest 2000 piece jigsaw you could ever do.
However it is a sad jigsaw!! The pieces were not cut through cleanly so have the backing is torn on a few, some pieces have twisted in the middle when being broken up. See photos for examples.
There are also two marks on the pieces - both shown on the photos.
No surprises when you do the jigsaw, I name all the faults.
Still it is a lovely puzzle to do.
Size - 92.5 x 67.5cm.

Price: $15
