  - Sections stay together when moving:  Yes

  - Bent or delaminated pieces:  Yes and no.  I found a small piece of picture (about the size of a tab) in the box, and thought I would find a delaminated piece but I didn't; all the pieces of this puzzle were fine.  So it came from someone another puzzle.
