Lovely Image, Mediocre Quality

Of the puzzles I've done this year, this one is unfortunately at the bottom. First the pros. The image quality was good. The print was clean and the colors were vibrant and the insect and snake motif was cool. It was harder than I expected it to be, so the puzzling time was decently long. It also came with a huge poster of the image which was just a bit smaller than the poster itself (I honestly didn't use it because it was a little cumbersome). The box came damaged (but my shipping package from Puzzledly was fine) but felt thick and had a nice texture to it. Now the cons. The piece quality was a bizarre mix of really good and rather poor. The pieces were snug enough to lift the completed puzzle, but they felt light and flimsy. The backs of the pieces had peeling/wear and there was a decent amount of puzzle dust. Also, for being in a series called "The Artist's Canvas" there was no mention of an artist anywhere on the box. There seemed to be a missing piece (as can be seen in the photo), but I didn't care enough about this puzzle to bother either Puzzledly or Insight Editions about it.
