Redouté Puzzle

I used the Grateful House black trays again. It requires using the tray lid so that all the pieces fit onto the trays. I could just as easily place the edge pieces directly onto the foam boards but it was convenient to set up the sorting system as shown below. The puzzle pieces can be sorted in the centre into the surrounding trays and according to colour/objects/details. The edge pieces are to the bottom far right tray. There is barely a spec of puzzle dust in the empty box indicating the cut of the pieces are nice and clean. 

The matte finish is always nice on these non-glare Cobble Hill Company puzzles. I was totally delighted with everything about this puzzle including the cut. I can highly recommend it.

This Redouté puzzle reminded me much of the the Barbara Behr flower collages titled Blue Flowers and Pink Flowers by Cobble Hill Company. Likely because they are collage puzzle images. The following are some close up images of the lovely flowers followed by the time line for Pierre-Joseph Redouté's life timeline.

Cobble Hill is a Canadian company that specializes in producing high-quality jigsaw puzzles for adults. The company has gained a reputation for producing visually appealing and challenging puzzles that are made from durable and eco-friendly materials.

One of the standout features of Cobble Hill puzzles is their unique designs. The company collaborates with artists from around the world to create puzzles that are not only challenging but also visually stunning. They have puzzles featuring iconic artworks such as Gustav "Klimt" puzzle and festive designs like  "The Village Tree". They also offer themed puzzles such as animals, landscapes, and nostalgia.

Cobble Hill puzzles are made from high-quality, recycled materials that are durable and environmentally friendly. The puzzle pieces are thick and sturdy, making them easy to handle and assemble. Additionally, the pieces fit together smoothly and accurately, ensuring that the finished puzzle looks seamless and well-crafted.

Another notable feature of Cobble Hill puzzles is their commitment to sustainability. The company uses recycled and biodegradable materials in their puzzle production, and they also use vegetable-based inks in their printing process. Additionally, they donate puzzles to nursing homes and Alzheimer's facilities to help individuals with cognitive challenges.

In terms of pricing, Cobble Hill puzzles are generally affordable, with prices ranging from $15 to $25 for most designs. While they may be slightly more expensive than some other brands, the high-quality materials and unique designs justify the cost.

Their social media strategy has helped them to build a loyal following of puzzle enthusiasts and has helped them to stay relevant in a competitive market.

One area where Cobble Hill could improve is their range of puzzle sizes. While they offer a decent range of sizes, they do not currently offer puzzles with more than 2000 pieces, which may be a drawback for experienced puzzlers looking for a greater challenge.

In conclusion, Cobble Hill is a brand of jigsaw puzzles that offers high-quality, visually stunning, and eco-friendly puzzles that are enjoyed by puzzle enthusiasts of all skill levels.
