Jigsaw Puzzle Board – Portable Non-Slip Puzzle Storage Board for 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzles – Lightweight and Durable Puzzle Accessory

There is nothing more annoying when you have a cat, that likes to help you with the jigsaw, when you're not around. So this puzzle board has been a life saver. When the jigsaw is not in use, I simply cover it with the cardboard lid and place a couple of heavy items on top to stop our cat from playing with it. I've used this with both 1000 piece Gibson and Ravensburger jigsaw puzzles and both fit the board perfectly. The velveteen type covering keeps the jigsaw pieces in place. Although quite large, it's easy to store when not in use: under a sofa, under a bed or on top of a wardrobe and the cardboard covering keeps any dust at bay. Just make sure you have a table of adequate size to accommodate the puzzle board when in use. A brilliant gift idea for the keen jigsaw puzzler.

I have found the Gibsons puzzle board absolutely great. I have severe arthritis and after using 4 other boards I had to give up before trying this one. It’s so lightweight and sits comfortably on my knees. The price was the cheapest..from £57-£26 Thanks for letting me get my hobby back.

My wife and i enjoy making puzzles and we have a save a puzzle that you can zip shut like a very large briefcase, the only problem it is heavy, and if you can imagine 2 Puzzle boards of this review joined in the middle so you can fold it in half, then you see the problem. This is ideal as it is lighter than the other board and has a raised edge. I found that the puzzle did slide a little and the edge could of been a little more defined to stop the puzzle going over the edge. The only other drawback with this board is, that once you have started a puzzle you have to have somewhere to lay it flat that wont be vulnerable to someone walking past and knocking it flying. Still a very good puzzle board and at a reasonable price.

I know you could use a bit of wood, cardboard etc, but I have really found this to be really handy. I bought it after reading reviews of the roll-up ones which said that some of the cheaper ones were just a bit of felt round a tube. I don't do jigsaws too often as I get too engrossed and lose all my social skills, but to me this was worth the price, even for occasional use. This is good quality and ideal for slipping under the settee. It is possible to use it on your knee as long as you keep the loose pieces on the felt. I don't think it would take any bigger than 1000 piece jigsaws.

Very well built with high quality materials, gentle to the touch at the same time blocking the pieces to slide. The cushion on the back makes it perfect if you want to have a sit and put it on to your lap. Very handy! Excellent!

After seeing my mother struggling with working on even a 500 piece puzzle we bought this for her and she's now able to move the puzzle when being worked on without fear of pieces sliding out of position. The board is nicely made,has a rim around the sides and bottom edge and a non-slip surface so everything stays in place even if the board is jogged. She's delighted with it as it means she can concentrate on her puzzle and if the phone rings and makes her jump everything stays put instead of slipping onto the floor. Like all the best tools, simple but effective.

I love Gibson’s jigsaws on which I have invested a small fortune over the years, but am not so keen on this board, which I bought on impulse, without reading the full description. In fairness, I guess I am too used to the advantages of my ‘PortaPuzzle’, with the flaps providing an area where you can keep some of your pieces as you puzzle(!) over them and the whole thing closes, with Velcro, safely keeping the jigsaw under wraps & away from the elements. I just assumed that they all worked in a similar fashion. This is a board for simply making the jigsaw up on. It is of reasonable sturdiness and is designed for standard jigsaws up to 1000 pieces, 73 cm x 51 cm. Lightly padded, one side is in a black plastic-type finish, the other is a bright royal blue velvet-type finish, which, when brand new, does help to stop the puzzle sliding if held at a slight angle, but this has not proved to be the case as the pile flattens with use. Also, the brushed effect is hard to keep clear of dust speckles, when part way through a puzzle. The board has a raised edge, which creates a slight well for the jigsaw to sit in, but there is little space to put jigsaw pieces on, until you get near the end as the advertising picture suggests. This means that a large table is required, to provide a natural surround in my case. But, it all comes down to how you do your jigsaws, I guess? Friends have various sorters to hand with theirs, when space is minimal. In practice, I only use this puzzle board to transfer my latest completed jigsaw onto for display & photography purposes before making the agonising decision to break it up and put it back in its box! Having said all of that, I bought mine on Amazon discount at a fraction of the RRP and an extra bonus was the large piece of cardboard that pads out the packing because I was able to transfer my latest, just finished, favourite place jigsaw onto it to glue and keep forever! If I was buying another, I would choose this one which is the super-duper, updated version of my old faithful and, currently, at similar money in terms of the RRP.

A good sturdy board which makes puzzle making a pleasure.

Sehr gut verarbeitet, kam auch sehr gut verpackt an. Habe 2 Stück bestellt, bisher haben mein Mann und ich auf dem Esstisch gepuzzelt und hatten unsere Puzzles auf Pappplatten zwecks Hin- und Herräumen. Das war natürlich eine wackelige Angelegenheit. Mit diesen tollen Boards verrutscht nichts mehr beim Transport in ein anderes Zimmer , prima! Katzen haben wir auch, aber dann werden die Boards eben oben abgedeckt. Wir sind begeistert!

Using for space saving

TABLA LIGERA, NO PESA, ES CÓMODA DE MOVER Y PERFECTA PARA COLOCAR LAS PIEZAS DEL PUZZLE.

Nice size, good quality. Does the job, and stores easily under sofa, loveseat or armchair.

The board is nice and has a good cover and is stable. Unfortunately it is advertised as up to 1000 puzzle pieces. I bought it specifically for a 1000 piece puzzle and it is no where near big enough. The box does give a size, but the over riding thing you see is will fit up to 1000 piece puzzles, so check the size of your puzzles.
