My exact experience with Jiggy. Received one as a gift, was really grateful and excited to try the brand. The quality was so substandard. Once complete I discussed this with other puzzlers and realized my experience was not unique. I have never done another. The artwork is superb, but not worth the price and diminished quality. Thanks for your honest review.

Hi Bathilda! Such a shame the quality is so inconsistent! They really need to go back to the drawing board and fix it. Thanks so much for your comments! :0)

With all the bad reviews, plus puzzle piece thickness inconsistency, I wouldn't buy Jiggy for the world! Thanks for saving many of us money...to purchase puzzles that are worth it! You have the BEST review for Jiggy!

Hi Betty! I was really hoping to love the Jiggy brand - but their piece quality was so inconsistent! Such a shame! On to the next brand! :0)

Loved this review and subscribed!! I lucked out and found 2 jiggy puzzles at the thrift store, one brand new and one just the glass packaging. I was thrilled at 6$ each because I knew they would have to blow me away for the 40$+ price tag. I'm still looking forward to doing them just to check the brand off my list- but so glad to know what I'm going into!

Great video, Shannon! I’ve done “Shoe Shopping” and one other Jiggy puzzle and had the same experience as you. I agree, these puzzles would make nice gifts, but I won’t be buying any more of them for myself.

CONGRATULATIONS on 1000 subscribers! Thank you for your honest review. You’re so right, for the price point I would expect flawless pieces too. I love watching reviews on new puzzle brands, however I do think the prices are getting much too high. Especially if you only do a puzzle once and pass it on. However the artwork is so beautiful sometimes I can’t help myself lol. Happy puzzling!

Congratulations on 1000 subscribers!!! 🎉 I do not love the artwork as much as you do, I would have given most an 8 at best. My price/value would have been a 2. The money was put into useless stuff like a scrapper and glue that I would never use. I would have preferred the ability to buy those two items separately, if desired, instead of all the waste. My overall score would be a 2.

Congratulations on reaching 1,000+ subscribers. You gave an excellent and thorough review of Jiggy puzzles going above and beyond by evaluating 10 of their puzzles ! I have never heard of Jiggy puzzles. As a result of your video review, I visited the Jiggy puzzle website. Unfortunately, I am personally not attracted to the artwork but I am sure you and others are. In my opinion, Jiggy would do well to concentrate on bringing up the quality of their puzzle pieces to a "10" (a primary attraction of puzzles is the quality of the puzzle pieces and their fit) and cut back on the "frills" (who really needs a glass cylinder container?).

Hi Maggie! I hear ya! I really do like their artwork A LOT. It's such a shame that the quality is so inconsistent. They do put a lot of "frills" in the packaging that I will never use, like puzzle glue.

Thank you for the thorough review! I haven’t tried this brand and now I don’t want to. Quality is as important to me as the artwork. So is consistency, which seemed non-existent here. You don’t know what finish, quality or fit you’re going to get from one puzzle to the next. That would be so frustrating.

This review is super helpful! There’s a Jiggy puzzle with ice skates that I think about buying every time I see an ad for it because I love the picture so much. But I just can’t get past the price, and I’m glad to know the value isn’t there. That will make it easier for me to pass it by next time!

You certainly gave a thorough review of Jiggy puzzles. Such a shame that the quality left a great deal to be desired. Talk about pricey!! The price of one 800 piece Jiggy puzzle would be equal to my buying two 1000 piece jigsaws. I thought it was a bit over the top to use a glass cylinder for the pieces. From my point of view a nice fabric bag would have been better. I've never done their brand as they are not obtainable in the UK.

They should have the glass cylinder as an accessory on their website. One glass cylinder is enough for display purposes.

I love your videos! I had basically the same conversation with a fellow puzzle addict about quality. I bought a jiggy puzzle at a library sale for $6. When I was putting it together, I was glad I hadn't paid full price. I do love their artwork! I noticed that the pieces fit wonky and there were a lot of false fits. I almost think the glass cylinder was the cause of bent pieces. Thank you so much for the review, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this experience. BTW, have you done a Unified Pieces review? I'll have to double check. Also Surf Shack and Puzzles of Color are fabulous!
