Bits and Pieces Puzzle Board with Drawers – 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle Table Organizer Premium Wooden Puzzle Board for Adults 22.25"x 30" Smooth Non-Slip Surface Portable Puzzle Table with Sorting Trays

We recently rediscovered the fun of working puzzles and decided to set up a puzzle station so we could have a puzzle going most of the time - for us and for guests - one we could put away when we need the extra space for seating. We don't plan to travel with the board. We shopped & decided this item best met our needs with respect to size, appearance and functionality. Straight out of the box, with no modifications, we loved it. Because our family room isn't brightly lit, we picked up a clamp-based magnifying lamp and clamped it to the frame of the board. Then, we got a swivel TV stand Convenience Concepts 191034 XL 2-Tier TV Swivel Board for Flat Panel TV's up to 32-Inch or 60-Pounds. When it's just us working the puzzle from a couch, we use only the (very convenient) swivel base. But, when we have a group working the puzzle, we put the top shelf on to raise the puzzle (about 9") - making it comfortable for those sitting in chairs. We had a little wooden easel in a closet and it works perfectly to hold the box lid so we can see what we're trying to make. Even with the modifications, in matter of seconds we can dismantle the station and tuck it away under a couch or bed. Finally, while the drawers are perfectly functional, we've found it's better for us to put smaller "trays" in the drawers so we can share color/shape/area sets without having to pull the large drawers out, completely. The "trays" are the lids to some collapsible organizing boxes (CD sized) we had on hand. Oh - this board isn't big enough for some of the oddly shaped puzzles or most puzzles over 1000 pieces, but, it ships with an easy fix. It's packed between two fairly sturdy corrugated sheets. We taped the two sheets together on the long edge - giving us a working area of about 52" x 35". We slide it into the edged-corner of the puzzle board for support and have plenty of space to work almost any puzzle we'd want to work - then we fold it and slip it behind the couch when we don't need the larger space. We are very pleased with this purchase.

If you love puzzling and are short on space, THIS IS PERFECT!We love puzzling as a family, but we live in a small house without a space where a BIG puzzle can sit out and be worked on over several days (weeks). THIS BOARD solved all our problems.We can now do up to 1500 piece puzzles on the kitchen table! Time for dinner? Move the board (with the handy piece sorting drawers) and start setting the table!Use it on the coffee table! Company coming over? Just tuck it under the couch (where ours lives), and BOOM...puzzle progress preserved and you're ready for company!Want to take the puzzle on the road to grandma's house or to puzzle with friends? This board is big, but it's light and it's TOTALLY PORTABLE (just keep it flat).The board has a rim along 2 sides that allows you to square the corners of your puzzle as you're "working your sides" and the lip keeps your puzzle safe while you're moving the board. The rim being on only 2 sides also allows you to slide you puzzle off of the board should you want to frame it or store it (completed or partially completed).The company "Bits & Pieces" is legendary for supporting the worlds' puzzling faithful, and this board is one of their finest.I do wish they offered a heavy cover for this board so that you could keep things in place and dust free for long periods or shaky moves, bu that's really the only thing I'd look to add to this board.If you like to puzzle and are tight on space or are unhappy with other short term puzzle storage options, this board is AWESOME...tuck it under the couch, put it on your bed, put it under your bed...it's big, it's sturdy, and it's under 2 inches thick!You won't be sorry with this board! Hours and hours of fun for all ages! You'll be making great memories and your kids will fight over this board when the time comes to divy up Mom & Dad's house. This is an heirloom puzzle accessory!

Purchased this puzzle board as a family gift for Christmas. It shipped as scheduled, arrived on time and was well packaged. The board is as described in the listing, no surprises. Very well constructed. We love the drawers to help with organizing and free up space on the board. Easy to move around and easily fits under a bed, couch etc if you need to put the puzzle out of sight for a bit while in process.

I always wanted to get into puzzles, but I have never really had a good space for the activity at home. I bought the jumbo size for myself and I love it. I'm working on a 1500 piece puzzle right now so I keep it out all the time, unless I'm having company or something and then i can slide it under a bed or a couch. The workspace for the puzzle is huge, and it has 4 drawers that are really deep so you can spread out and organize pieces the way you like. The drawers slide in and out easily. What I wish it had: 1) I would love it if it had lazy susan on the bottom. I'm thinking maybe I can add it myself, but I would rather it came with one. The surface is very large and I am constantly spinning it around. Right now it's on top of a large coffee table and I put a couple of cloth placements under it so when I need to spin it, my coffee table doesn't get scratched. 2) I wish it came painted! It's just the plain unfinished wood, and it would be really nice if we could get it in colors - at least white or black would be great, or maybe stained so that it looks prettier when it's out. Other than that, this is one of the best things I have ever purchased for myself.

This is a great product for those who need portability and organization for their puzzles. I love the drawers so I can sort the pieces, and that it has two open edges for sliding the puzzle on and off the board. I love it so much, I bought one for each of my kids as well, and they love the boards, too!
