I've done this puzzle twice before, and enjoyed it very much, for a few reasons. It's my first Ravensburger. I'd read a lot of very positive things about the brand on the interwebs, and wanted to try it. Generally, I prefer to build puzzles of fine art, but this was the one that not only caught my eye, but was also in my size and price range. So, I bought this to represent Ravensburger in my fledgeling interest in higher quality puzzles.
The piece quality is fantastic. The cuts all smooth and complete, and the pieces have a good thickness and are crisp. The printing is excellent quality and the surface is slightly textured and not too shiny. The piece shape is square based, with not a lot of variety, which I have noticed from the other European puzzles I've built as well.
Since I've done the puzzle before and it is fairly simple in design, the first sort separated all the pieces - edge, yellow/green, orange/red, purple, blue, gray center, and pencil wood.
I'm doing the puzzle without looking at the box. Once the frame is together, and the colors sorted, it all comes together pretty quickly, though.
Took a break to work on Kitten & Puppy with O after building the frame. Man, now that I look at that photo, the Kitten & Puppy puzzle looks really bizarre and fractal-y. Fractal puppy. Google image search is woefully undersupplied with my desired illustrative image for fractal cocker spaniel puppy.
