Assembly: I assembled this beauty several years ago. It was one of six various size puzzles that come in a big box at WalMart. I think the brand might have been Sure-lox, but I cannot remember for sure.In any case, this was a fun little puzzle and more of a challenge than I thought it would be initially. The colorful buildings were a lot of fun, and also where the biggest challenge was in assembly. I have a much bigger, 2000 piece version of this same scene by Buffalo deep in my to do mountain. I look forward to assembling it some day and mounting it on the wall. I think it will be a stunner. But for a cheapy little puzzle, this one had pretty good quality, albiet thin pieces. The main thing was it laid flat once assembled. That is a big pet peeve of mine when it comes to puzzles. The pieces have got to lay flat and stay flat once assembled. I hate it when they don’t. ☹
I have never been to Cinque Terre, even though I spent my honeymoon in Italy. My husband and I would like to go back again some day and travel from Rome south as we went from Rome north for our honeymoon. I would like to include a trip to Cinque Terre if possible. It looks so pretty, but I do know that puzzle artists and manufacturers add in a lot of vibrant and color-saturated richness with digital images that would not normally be there so we’ll see if it’s as pretty in “real life” as it is in the puzzle. I sure hope it is.
