This puzzle was really fun. It took me about 120 hours to finish. I'm
currently gluing it together in 1000-piece sections. The puzzle comes in
four 6000-piece bags. One thing that helps is that every 1000-piece
section is identical, shape-wise, so that when you are working on a hard
section (where all the pieces are the same color), you can match up shapes
with a previously-done section. This made some of the water areas more
manageable. The puzzle is beautiful, and I can't wait to get it up on the
wall. I'll put the 24 1000-piece sections together after I glue each one.
Yes, I have a 14 foot stretch of wall space!

I had the puzzle on the wall in my classroom for a while, but the
administrators told me to take it down because it was not "schoolwork." I
have it back in 24 1000-piece sections under my bed with nowhere to
display it.
