Texas A&M Aggies Jigsaw Puzzle (500 Pieces)

We normally LOVE Dowdle puzzles, and usually have no issues with them. This one, however, came with a few bent/broken pieces. Luckily, Dowdle pieces are nice and thick, so even though they were bent, they didn’t completely separate where the bend mark is (which would’ve caused a much bigger problem). The downside to bent puzzle pieces? They don’t lay down flat when the puzzle is completed - they stick up. And upon handling them, I was nervous about them breaking apart completely in my hand since they were already very fragile. Overall, this is a beautiful puzzle and was super enjoyable to put together (we love the challenge of the crazy-shaped “tricky” pieces!), but I’m just really confused to how a handful of pieces could’ve already been bent, before we had even opened the packaging. I took a picture of a few of the pieces, though there were more. Hopefully this was just a bad egg!

The puzzle is well packaged! We usually keep a puzzle a long time, so I was pleased that the box is very sturdy and durable. The 500 pieces are small because the puzzle is only 16” x 20”. But that makes it more challenging!

LOVE THESE PUZZLES!!! This was my 3rd one to put together. Absolutely the very best puzzles I've put together in my life. The puzzle piece shapes are so much fun! I look forward to putting together many more from this company!!!

This puzzle was given as a gift to a Puzzle Lover! She enjoyed the challenge of the puzzle and seemed pleased with its complexity.

This is a high quality puzzle of a great Aggie picture! Dowdle puzzles are super nice.

Bought for a gift - my sister and brother in law were excited, as they are Aggies. Beautiful art (which is not easy for this Longhorn to say).

This puzzle was fun to put together and very good quality. We bought it for our Aggie family to put together over the Thanksgiving holidays.

Love this puzzle! Gig em!
