Grumpy's Jigsaw Puzzle Review

Brand:  Caeco Title:  The Fire Station Artist:  Jan Van Haasteren Pieces: 550 Size:  18" x 24" Poster:  No What I liked:  A fun image with a lot of interesting details to look at. What I didn't like:  Searching through a lot of interesting details to figure out which fireman the piece I was holding belonged to.  I found this puzzle more difficult than the Soccer puzzle I recently completed. Before I assembled this one I went and bought a piece of foam core which is 32 x 40 inches.  I can place it easily on top of the coffee table I was using, and it gives me a lot more room.  

  Brand:  Caeco Title:  Soccer Artist:  Jan Van Haasteren Pieces: 550 Size:  18" x 24" Poster:  No What I liked:  A fun image and a good quality puzzle. What I didn't like:  I spent a lot of time searching for where individual pieces went, which was difficult because the image on the box is small so I had to use a magnifying glass.   I thought there was a missing piece, but I found it under a couch cushion.  It managed to fall into a crack and then migrate about 6" to the underneath the middle of the cushion.   I no longer sort through pieces while sitting on the couch.  While I was searching for this piece, I also found the piece I thought was missing from the first Dowdle puzzle.
