Rainbow Library | Reverie Puzzles 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle Time Lapse

Sometimes you fall in love with a puzzle the moment you see the image. That's how I felt when I first saw Rainbow Library by the Australian puzzle company Reverie. The artwork, created by Sydney Dean, features a gorgeous gradient of books and an adorable dog. That room is life goals.
I've been eyeing this puzzle for months. I have never seen a Reverie Puzzle available second-hand in my area. They are a small company focusing on book-themed puzzles with a rapidly growing following. Their puzzles are on the higher end price-wise, approximately $31 for a 500-piece puzzle and $34-37 for a 1,000-piece puzzle, but they are said to be of higher quality. I purchased this puzzle along with another Reverie design a few weeks ago, as I was worried they might discontinue this image before I had a chance to assemble it.
In terms of quality, I had an odd experience. The puzzle itself was gorgeous with a smooth matte finish that handles lighting well. The pieces are medium-thickness and fit together beautifully. Moving small and large sections was easy. The colors were beautiful, but I'll talk more about that later. Reverie puzzles also come with a reusable unbranded canvas bag. I appreciate that they don't use plastic but I do think the added weight of the bag for shipping somewhat negates the ecological impact of removing the plastic bag.
The weird experience for me is that the puzzle was very dusty. It wasn't just a thick dust that mostly stays on your tabletop but it was also a dust that clung to the pieces. Each piece was coated in a thin layer. I didn't think to take any photos of the dust when I was assembling it but I did take some of the dust that was left after I took it apart which I'll share on my website later. I was surprised because I hadn't seen anyone mention this issue on Instagram. I posted about it in my stories and a few people told me this was a problem with the early printings. Except my puzzle appears to be from a later printing based on a code on the box. 🤷 Despite the dust, I don't think it's enough of a quality issue to avoid this company. The overall quality is wonderful, and if dust is a recurring issue, I'll just pour the pieces onto a towel and rub them down before starting. I was just surprised to encounter this problem when no one else seemed to have had a dusty puzzle from them.
As for the colors, they turned out gorgeous once the puzzle was fully assembled. Initially, I was concerned it wasn't as bright and vibrant as expected. Due to the dust, I thought I might have a defective puzzle. In reality, I expected a bold rainbow of colors at the end of sorting, which wasn't the case. This puzzle has a lot of warm tones: the floor and ceiling are shades of orange, the plant pot is also orange, and the cabinets are a soft pink. Despite the gorgeous rainbow of books, the unassembled puzzle leans very orange. I also wasn't expecting so many muted olive tones. Completely assembled this is such a beautiful puzzle and I'm very happy to have it in my collection.
This was a wonderful puzzle to put together despite my initial misgivings. I'm excited to assemble another Reverie puzzle to compare the quality and dust levels to see if this one was a fluke or not.
Have you done a Reverie puzzle before or heard of the company? I'm curious about your experience. Let me know in the comments!
