Troubleshooting
Pieces appear to fit in multiple spots
Check the surrounding pieces for continuity of patterns and lines rather than relying on piece shape alone.
Difficulty finding specific border pieces
Sort through the pieces specifically looking for flat-sided edges; a high-contrast light source can help identify these.
Box is difficult to open or close
Ensure no small pieces are caught in the inner rim of the box, as they can prevent the lid from seating properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a flat, stable surface measuring at least 60cm x 80cm to accommodate the puzzle and your sorting trays. Open the box carefully and keep the pieces in a sealed container or the provided storage box when not in use to prevent loss. If you plan to frame the final image, use a standard 50cm x 68cm frame. For care, avoid getting pieces wet or exposing them to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause the image finish to fade or the cardboard backing to warp over time.
