    We love this fun, learning puzzle.
    The quality of this is nice. It's a wooden puzzle and looks as pictured. I love that my kids are learning what the states look like and where they go and don't even realize it. They're toddlers right now, but they're learning all the time. I like that it's also a refresher for me of the states and capitols. It's a pretty good sized puzzle. It came with all the parts, it shows what the states are known for as well.In the picture it's missing Florida, that's due to us losing it. Georgia has also seen better days. Our puppy got a hold of that one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful so far.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2013
    I will admit: I have only owned this for one day. But, I uploaded some pictures to show the overall quality and construction for anyone who is interested in details. The individual puzzle pieces are a sturdy 5mm thick. The puzzle board itself is 1cm thick. I love how the puzzle *pieces* say the name of the state, whereas the puzzle *board* lists only the state capitals. Kids can't just match up words, they have to think about what they are doing, and...so did I. :P You can't put a state piece in its place without noticing its capital. Great way to learn!

    As for the east coast pieces, Main has its own piece. Vermont and New Hampshire share a piece; as do MA, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and DC all share one piece. Pennsylvania has its own, as does NY. The grouping of the eastern states is great for 2 reasons. One, the pieces are bigger and less likely to be lost. And two, little fingers would have a hard time maneuvering those tiny states into place if they weren't grouped.

    I like how there is a compass on the puzzle and how the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are labeled, as well as the gulf of Mexico. Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario are also listed *on the board*. The only things I wish the puzzle had were a depiction of where Mexico and Canada are, as well as some way to represent where the major mountain ranges are. But then, it may look too cluttered if it had all of that.

    There is a nice color finish to the puzzle board and pieces, however I can't say how well it would hold up to a toddler scratching/biting it or water being spilled on it. But for my 8 year old: it looks perfect in every way. Melissa and Doug have won me over yet again.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as previous version
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2023
    I purchased this puzzle because we had an older version and had lost a few pieces. Upon unwrapping I noticed the puzzle was much more lightweight and made more cheaply. Not only were the pieces more lightweight but the way the states were labeled really annoyed me. There are states on the East coast that are grouped into 3 puzzle pieces with no writing. Instead the state names are on the base of the board. When you're putting the puzzle together you basically have to save those 3 pieces for last because it's hard to figure out where they go. I'm trying to help my son learn the state names so I think they could have designed the whole thing better.
