THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT FOR JIGSAWS AND KEEPS ALL THE PIECES IN A HANDY SET OF DRAWERS
It’s an excellent board, does the job as, expected, but just seems a tad expensive for what it is. Not much else on the market though.
Great for organising. Lightweight & easily slips under the sofa when not in use
If buying for an elderly relative or you are not particularly mobile it probably will not suit as it is quite awkward and big to move around. The item is not overly heavy but it is difficult to carry.
There is no facility to cover the puzzle and put away.
I love doing jigsaws and being able to lift it of the table when it was needed was perfect.
a bit on the heavy side. drawers drop out easily when moving. But good otrerwise.
I’m not sure it is value for money as it seems a lot to pay, but the drawers are helpful & they must take time to make… I like mine but because you can move the puzzle around easily, I’ve left mine out of the way on a separate table & not looked at it for 2 weeks so I need to move it back where I can see it all the time so it nags me into completing it.
The four drawers underneath are also perfect for organising found pieces by category (see below) &/or assembling subsections of the whole image.
If you’re one of the many who like to get the whole outer edge done first, and then work on separate sections piecemeal (as it were), this is probably something you should have! Or if your pic ha a large proportion of otherwise indistinguishable bits ~ pine-forest, clouds, snow, whatever ~ you could use the drawers to sub-categorise by the shape of the remaining pieces (i.e. all-convex, all-concave, alternate/facing lobes & gaps, adjacent pairs, 3-in-1-out, 3-out-1-in or whatever).
Many years ago I wrote an anthology of ‘blanked verse’ for children or other learners of English, from which the following rhyme seems appropriate ~ gaps & all! ~ to share in this context:
My uncle sent a birthday parcel,
A jigsaw of a famous . . . . . . . :
It has about a thousand bits,
You have to find where each one . . . . ,
And every piece I seem to try
Shows either stone, or grass, or . . . .
This could take months to do, I fear ~
It might not be complete next . . . . !
(One feels for the poor child having to write *next* birthday’s thank-you letter and own up to not having completed the previous jigsaw … perhaps with one of these boards to help organise, they’d have been OK?)
The anthology is called ‘Rhyme and Reason’, available from Lulu Press, or from me if you can find me elsewhere …
Happy puzzling, either way!
The puzzle board is fine, the only comment I have is that it was delivered 3 days late.
The product is ok for 500 piece jigsaws. With a 1000 piece l ran out of room where to put all the pieces. On the plus side when finding the straight edge pieces you can separate into different trays sky, grass, sea etc.
Great product. Sits across an average armchair. the side trays are particularly useful and we dont find they fall out as some other reviews state. It is quite pricey for what it is but is ideal for seasoned jigsawers.
having got the infection of doing jigsaws in lockdown, this was really handy when I needed to move my “stuff”
The drawers are big enough and the overall space to work on for 1000 piece jigsaws is nice.
Like It.
Very useful drawers, keeping different pieces of jigsaw areas safe. The raised sides were also a great idea, keeping the work in place. You do need a safe place to put it when the table is needed for food times!
Excellent product – well made and sturdy. Have done 500 and 1000 piece puzzles on it. Brilliant way to store pieces. Not sure why it only has two edges – but doesn’t detract from overall satisfaction.
It’s a very good solution to do jigsaws on. We purchased it to be able to move it around when not using it. It advertises up to 1000 pieces, but getting 1000 pieces into the trays and leaving a workable space on the main board when you start a jigsaw (even after extracting the straight edge pieces) is not possible. It’s well made, but considering the materials that make it up, think it could be a little cheaper. But overall, very pleased.
Purchased this to do puzzles – found to be sturdy and easy to move around – the drawers on the sides are very useful and would recommend. Downside – drawers slide in/out a bit too easy.
Well pleased with this puzzle board, not too heavy, can carry around and put on your knee or on a flat surface, and having the four drawers means you can have most of your jigsaw pieces to hand rather than keep digging through the puzzle box.
This item arrived when stated i think it is over priced as for sturdiness the drawers fall out easily they are not stopped from doing that. I expected all the sides to be enclosed not just two of them .
