The pieces are strangely cut (such that one section will look like it's missing one piece when in fact it's two weirdly shaped ones) and come with excess bits that weren't cut cleanly off the pieces (these are obvious when the puzzle is done). The watermark is ugly, too, regardless of how small it is. The crowd is blurry and the colours aren't so great there but since the original is like that it's to be expected. Again, for the price I paid I wish that the minor defects in the puzzle weren't there because I plan to glue these when I'm done and I don't want the extra bits and the watermark to detract from the puzzle. Other than that, the puzzle looks great and is fun to assemble.
