Melissa & Doug Multi-Fit Metal Wire Puzzle Rack 12 inches wide and 0.75 inches deep

After reading the mixed reviews for this puzzle organizer, I decided to purchase it with the hopes that it would work out. I'm so glad that I did. I have several Melissa and Doug puzzles, but not enough to fill it up yet. I have one puzzle with chunky pieces and it fits fine, but I do have it on the second to the top level. The rest of my puzzles have small pegs, and they fit beautifully. The fat noise-making puzzles do not fit, but I just stacked them on top of the organizer, and I'm fine with that. I stacked the puzzles in the top sections, leaving space for other learning toys stacked below. My bookshelf looks much more organized, and I'm hoping that my son enjoys the easy access to finding his puzzles!

Great puzzle organization. I and very impressed with easy of use and sturdiness. I normally go for wood construction but went with this for the amount it can hold. It comes straight out of the box and ready to use. Light weight. Price was high but worth it for me for the size and quality.

If you’re like me and have a ton of puzzles this rack is a great storage solution. It is super easy to use and fits perfectly in my cubby shelf. Regular size puzzles fit perfectly but any bigger puzzles will have to sit on top (I bought the standard size rack knowing this). It is strong and makes our playroom look much more put together. I only wish it has a rubber bottom or rubber feet on it so that it doesn’t pull off the shelf when my 18 mo old yanks a puzzle off. I will probably be adding some myself, but otherwise a great purchase!

We absolutely love the Melissa & Doug Wire Puzzle Rack! After months of scattered, half-finished puzzles cluttering the floor, this clever stand has been a total game-changer for our family. Pros: Smart design: The rack can hold several puzzle boards upright—perfect for juggling multiple puzzles at different stages. We reduced our clean-up time dramatically and no longer have pieces lost under the couch. Kid-friendly: My 2-year‑old can easily slide puzzles on and off the metal arms—no help needed. It’s sturdy yet lightweight enough for them to move to different rooms. Quality build: True to the Melissa & Doug reputation, the rack is made from solid wood with smooth finish and secure metal rods. It looks great and feels like it will last for years of play. Versatile: Not just for puzzles—my child also uses it to display artwork, structure pieces, and even store puzzles upright in their bookshelf. Minor gripe: The base could use a bit more weight; if the rack is overloaded on one side, it tilts slightly. That said, it’s a rare issue and easy to balance (or add a small weight inside the base).

This puzzle storage rack is excellent. I just got it today, but am already loving the additional organization it provides. I currently have 7 puzzles in it, so it is not full. To address some questions and past reviewer complaints: 1) Yes, the picture now matches the product you get. 2) There are NO sharp edges or metal pieces, I think maybe that reviewer possibly got a bad one. I do not see how this would scratch up wood unless maybe you slide it back and forth a lot. The pieces of metal that touch the bottom surface are all rounded and smooth. 3) It DOES hold peg puzzles and the big knob puzzles. I am attaching photos. The M&D puzzles that have the small plastic knobs fit perfectly, and you do not need to skip any rows. The M&D puzzles that have the large wooden knobs (baby's first puzzles) also fit, but you need to leave at least one row above empty. I have have a M&D gear puzzle sitting on top of the rack and because the metal supports protrude just a bit, it doesn't slide off. I honestly do not understand some of the more negative reviews. I also think people saying the knob puzzles don't work are referring to the wooden ones, and are expecting to be able to use every rack. Pictures: I took a few from different angles and stacking the puzzles differently. The two puzzles on the bottom have the colored small plastic pegs. The next two up are the magnetic fishing and bug catching puzzles. Note that they can be stored with the fishing/bug catching magnetic pole resting on top, and can still be stacked without leaving a space in between. The next puzzle up is a M&D farm animal giant wooden knob puzzle, it's barn-shaped and still fits in the rack. You can fit another puzzle on top if you leave one rack open in between. If you look at one of the pics, you can see leaving a single rack open, the knobs just touch the bottom of the next puzzle. The next puzzle is a custom-made name puzzle. I just slid it into the rack sideways. Perfect The top puzzle in some of the pics is one of the M&D gear puzzles. These won't fit in the rack, but will sit perfectly on top without falling off.

Was excited for this, but it gets narrower at the top and the puzzles start to not fit defeating part of the purpose

Best purchase ever!

Muy buen producto, cumple con su función solo que no caben los rompecabezas de sonidos de la misma marca porque son un poco más anchos, pedí 1 y me mandaron 4 extras

Durable, most puzzles fit, except big wider width ones

Good sturdy material, however does NOT fit the puzzles that makes sounds and so on, e.g. their old mc Donald's, instrument puzzles and so on. Bit dumb considering it's their own product as well

Semble solide mais mesures inexactes. J ai du le retourner. mais soucis pour se faire rembourser les frais de port très élevés, 37€ de la France(Retour vers les États unis car pas d adresse français)

Useless and flimsy. I have 3 Melissa and Doug puzzles and 2 actually don't fit it.
