I came across a Wentworth puzzle at a hotel and it was so satisfying to put together, especially since the pieces were mostly typical puzzle pieces that held together rather than sliding next to each other. It also makes the best sounds when you slide the whole puzzle back and forth slightly - like a satisfying click, clack of a train. Definitely would buy a set that we could enjoy putting together yearly, likely of a scene or meaningful picture. Glad you enjoyed it!
They really are so amazing, and like you said, very satisfying to piece together. But in order for me to even consider buying a set, that image would have to be so good that it'd d keep me up at nights, and even then I would still have to have a long think about it 😂 Definitely something to treat yourself to. But you do get what you pay for. These would for sure withstand multiple completions.
Wentworth are beautiful quality. My favourite artist by them is Nette Art. I guess living in the U.K. they are are a lot cheaper. They are in thrift stores quite often. I picked up a 500 piece one for £5 ($7) at the charity shop. Just to answer your question about the piece shape, yes they are always interesting.
Thank you for letting me know about the piece shapes! Wow, those would be super lucky finds at thrift stores. I'll be heading to the UK next year, so I might see if I have time to check out any stores.
Hi. I'm from the UK and recently discovered the joys of doing Wentworth wooden puzzles. I usually buy them when they are on sale as they are so expensive. I've managed to get 3 x 250 pcs from thrift stores (charity shops) at really cheap price between £2.50 to £3. I also own 4 x 1000 pcs of Wentworths. The postage costs to the US are so expensive. I like your channel by the way. It's unlikely I will be buying more cardboard jigsaws in the future. I usually do 2000 piece cardboard jigsaws but now I'm a fan of Wentworth Puzzles.
Wow, you grabbed them at an insane price considering how much they really are! I don't blame you for sticking with Wentworth, it really is fantastic quality. I just wish it wasn't so expensive for us in the US. Maybe one day I'll treat myself to another set 😁 Happy to hear you are enjoying the channel!
lovely puzzle Mandy! I've heard Wentworth is the top of the top when it comes to wooden puzzles. :-) nice to see it. enjoy the snow there and wishing you an amazing Xmas ahead!
Great video! We have a few Wentworth puzzles and Santa is bringing me a couple more. :) It's the only wooden puzzle brand we have tried. Love the quality. I've also noticed that they sometimes ship from a business in Wisconsin so sometimes I receive them sooner. And yes, the aroma is part of the experience with Wentworth puzzles!
If I closed my eyes, that scent would make me feel like I was in the forest. I'm excited to hear you are getting more sets for Christmas! They really are special.
I checked out the website and I thought their artwork was exceptional. I would probably enjoy getting some of them. However, their prices disqualify them as a serious option. My budget is just not in that realm!
I'm in the same boat! The quality and selection really is fantastic, but those $300 sets would pay for my heating bill 🤣. It would have to be super extra special purchase like a birthday milestone or something, and even then I would probably still have buyers remorse.
Well we’re off to the UK next year and you just know we are going to get an extra suitcase for our UK and European puzzles. 👍😃. Postage to Oz is a killer. Love your videos Mandy. Have a great Cmas and New a year from your Ozzie puzzle pals. Mark+Chris👍😃😎
I'll be heading to the UK next year as well! I'll have to try to check out some shops while I'm there. I doubt I'll be anywhere near the Wentworth factory, but I bet it'd be an amazing experience. Please share your experience when you get back!
I love Wentworth puzzles. Yes they’re expensive, but they’re great, and a real treat when I do manage to save up for one. I’m in the uk so I think they probably work out a bit cheaper than elsewhere in the world, but they’re definitely my most indulgent puzzle purchase!
very nice detailed review.... looked like awesome quality...so much fun!!!. would love to have one!!!! Like you not sure I can justify the cost. Glad you enjoyed the wooden puzzle experience, that I introduced you to ......... Dowdle also makes wooden puzzles, I have not tried one. Would be fun to see you do a review of those.. they are expensive too...Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
Yea, the price kinda made my eyeballs pop out. The quality is fantastic, and they have a great selection, but definitely not something I'd instantly purchase without second thought. Big ouch to the wallet. I'm gonna have to look into the Dowdle sets, I'm curious now. Thank you again Kathy for introducing me to the world of wooden puzzles! I'm such a big fan now 🤩
@@thepuzzledmandy wish we would of known this sooner... Dowdle had a site wide 42% off sale for Christmas... I ended up ordering 6... I really like the brand .. Ravensburger is great quality , I just dont find that many images I love to pay their price new! I looked for a Christmas sale for them and didnt find any..... I have 10 of the Temu ones now...I can afford those lol lol . Ho HO HO Merry Christmas to you... I hope you take the needed break!!
Send some snow my way Mandy. Kansas needs snow😂. I am going to get my hands on a 500 wooden Ravensburger puzzle. They have them on Amazon and Puzzle Warehouse but it will have to wait for tax refund season🥰🧩
Oh boy, I think I'm getting snow again in the next couple days. I'll send it over! I have heard that Ravensburger do have wooden sets, and I hear they are pretty expensive too. I'm gonna have to look more into them. I wonder if I would like it more than their basic puzzles. I almost forgot about tax season 💸💸💸
I live in Nova Scotia and my yard is similar to yours, beautiful trees and forest! I don't think we are getting a white Christmas this year. Merry Christmas to you and your family, may Santa bring ALOT of puzzles ❤
Oh wow, my parents would take us to Nova Scotia almost every year when we were kids. So beautiful. We would stay in Baddeck Cape Breton. It's actually where my hubby and I first met. You took me back to so many great memories 🤩 Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and hopefully you'll get a snowy surprise!
Lovely puzzle, Mandy. Great idea re increasing thickness of the pieces. Wouldu consider it worthy of glueing or stcking the back, like in your previous video, or no need? 😀
Hi Ernie! Puzzles like these are nearly impossible to flip over without causing accidents, at least for me it's impossible LOL. I'm sure you can attempt to glue it, but I don't think it'll hold up well. The pieces/whole image would be too heavy I think. I don't really know how anyone can go about saving these unless there is a special frame for them.
@@thepuzzledmandy Yeah, faie enuf Mandy. A frame sounds like prob the best idea actually behind glass so they dont fall out 🙂 Btw, if i dont hear from you, wishing you and your family and very Merry Xmas and Happy New Year :-)
Thanks for letting me know! I've just updated the links. Sometimes the link resets without me knowing about it. Let me know if you have any other issues.
Funny, I thought that bookstore puzzle image looked familiar 🤣, what the heck! Now I'm just thinking about how many sets I could pick up at Walmart or Target for the same price LOL.

Beautiful puzzle. The pieces fit together better than I thought they might. Thank you for sharing your experience with a Wentworth puzzle.
You are so welcome! Considering that price point, I was thinking those pieces better fit super perfect 😂
Wonderful video on Wentworth. It’s a beautiful puzzle. Have a happy holiday with your family!!
Thank you! Hope you have a great Christmas as well 🎄🎄🎄
I love your videos! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thank you so much 😁 Hope you have an amazing Christmas!

Aw thank you 😁 Hope you have an amazing Christmas!!!
I’d loved my Wentworth experience!
They are pretty amazing. I just wish they weren’t so expensive. 💸💸💸

PS, going to Wentworth factory in September, they have summer factory tours. How good is that!😃

I do want to join the discord but all the links ive tried have been broken 😢
Thanks for letting me know! I've just updated the links. Sometimes the link resets without me knowing about it. Let me know if you have any other issues.
@@thepuzzledmandy yay I'm really excited to check it out!!
Wow, $307.50 for that bookstore puzzle that is the same picture White Montain has for less than $20.
Funny, I thought that bookstore puzzle image looked familiar 🤣, what the heck! Now I'm just thinking about how many sets I could pick up at Walmart or Target for the same price LOL.
