This is ** NOT ** a "received item... for giving a review" Review- I selected & purchased this product after much researching and reading reviews, when available, to find the "just right" one! I'm thankful to all those that take the time to write reviews, which have enabled me to learn more about the product/s so I may make a selection & order with "well informed" confidence. I try to "return the favor" by writing reviews too. Some items that I'm "overly thrilled" with will inspire me to write a very detailed review. This is one of those items...MY REVIEW:Very pleased with this product - received on time (or early). THANK YOU!Thankful to all those that wrote reviews - helped in my decision to order for not only this storage stand, but also as to which puzzles I wanted to order to ensure they'll fit this stand. For example, had originally thought to order the chunky puzzles and / or large knob puzzles. Instead, I opted to order Melissa & Doug "peg puzzles" (has smaller pegs) and they fit perfectly. NOTE: there are other puzzles that'll also fit, I've only mentioned these three "types" as they were the only ones I was contemplating for my toddler grandson, at this time.One little detail... I felt that my "Melissa & Doug" Puzzles were sliding in a little "too snug" and didn't want it to cause any undue wear along the sides of the puzzles. As an easy solution, I pulled ever so slightly upon both the left & right sides (simultaneously) on this Storage Case, with gentle pressure, just until it had widened it "just a bit more" to allow for no more rubbing on the sides of the puzzles. No problem, and really NOTHING to merit any form of concern. Only worthy of mentioning this easy solution, IF others also run into the same minor dilemma.As for those that stated a concern about there being no "bumper pads" on the bottom to help protect surfaces - I have no such concern. Have felt all over the bottom, especially the corners and am confident that it should not cause ANY type of marring upon my table top or shelving where I have it placed. IF you have any such worry, or want to give "extra careful" protection to your surface, I liked the suggestion another reviewer gave for such a concern. Use of any "non-slip shelf liner" or "Grip Easy Liner Non-Adhesive Shelf Liner", ought to be a safe and happy solution for you.Wow!

If you have small puzzles, this organizer will be very helpful. Even some Melissa and Doug puzzles don’t fit right, which is irritating.

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. PerfectThe 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.

My biggest complaint is that the product is not 8.5” tall as stated in the specifications, but actually 9” tall. Unfortunately I have to now return it as it won’t work for my intended use. Width (12.5”) and depth (just over 7”) are incorrect as well! It’s also not as useful as I would have liked as it only fits about half the puzzles I have anyway. Some puzzles like Melissa & Doug sound puzzles (which I know it does state) are too thick and others just aren’t the right width. The item does look the same as in pictures and does not have sharp edges.

I bought this rack for my 16 month old granddaughter as I have been getting her more puzzles to add to her collection. Unfortunately, she is not quite ready to see her puzzles neatly stored! She immediately took the puzzles out, threw them on the floor, turned the rack over and sat on it! (She has been experimenting with sitting on everything from books to boxes, toys, etc. So my advice is to wait until your toddler is a bit older or put it out of reach and do one puzzle at a time.
