Has anyone order the Continent puzzles from abroaderview.com?

I love the price and that they are shaped like the countries.

I have the continent puzzles. The local school supply had them this fall. I was just commiserating because my kids lost a piece of two of them while I was taking a nap. (note to self: NEVER allow materials to be used without supervision....) I am so pleased you found a link to more at that same price!

What are they made of? The website doesn't say. I assume cardboard, but is it sturdy?

Yes they are cardboard - decent but yet cardboard. Thicker than a typical jigsaw. There are some advantages here. As vigilant as I had been we did lose those two pieces. I was about to cry as it was. Had I spent $50 each I seriously would have. If I was to invest in wood I would definitely only go with Nienhuis which has the replacement piece policy.
