Dozen Donuts | 12 (Twelve) 48 Piece Jigsaw Puzzles

I've done quite a few Piecework puzzles at this point, and thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The first donut in this set was fun. But I have a lot of issues with this puzzle. 2 stars instead of 1 because I do love Piecework and do like the concept and the aesthetics.

First it's such a large box for such small puzzles. All 12 finished puzzles stacked together take up maybe 1/8 of the size. This box is just too huge, and that's a personal pet peeve of mine.

Second, it's not 12 separate puzzles, it's all 12 mixed together. Sorting adds to the challenge, but I do mini puzzles because of limited room in my apartment, so this made it harder for me to enjoy with my limited space.

Third, several of the donuts look very similar. This became a problem because all 12 are the same identical cut, and especially became a problem with all of them mixed together. After the 1st donut, I was just doing the same puzzle with a different image over and over again. Not only did it get boring, but with the similar colored images, when I couldn't figure out where a piece went, I could see where it would go based on the shape, but which donut would it go with? It could fit with any of the similar colored ones because it's all just textures and similar colors.

Fourth, compared to other piecework, these did not stay together. I don't know if this is one of their older puzzles and I've only done their newer puzzles, but the pieces would come apart all the time, and that was frustrating.

I would recommend other Piecework over this one!
