Puzzle Mates Portapuzzle Standard 1000 (Jigsaw Puzzle Accessory)

I wasn't too sure about buying it from reviews that said "you get what you pay for" and the "inner lining was a little loose", but I am so glad I bought it. It is fantastic. Very sturdy and durable. It does exactly what it needs to, it looks like it's a lot more expensive than it was. The lining is perfectly tight and a really good material for holding the puzzle pieces in place perfectly. I've had it for about a month and I'm about halfway through my 1000 piece puzzle, and I am very, very pleased with this product. I would fully recommend this for anyone who likes jigsaws. I really like the handy extra pieces that pull out too, as they can be used for holding your partly-built puzzle in place, and also for sorting out pieces for the next bit you want to build. Great buy!! EDIT: It's now 2023 and I'm still using this exact same one 10 years on. It's a little frayed at the edges but other than that it's absolutely perfect. Would fully recommend it, especially for how long-lasting it is! Great value. 🙂

I must confess I bought this BEFORE reading the reviews and when I saw how divided they were I was convinced I had made a mistake. It arrived today and I can honestly say I am perfectly happy with it. I have always loved passing the time with a good jiggie of 1000 pieces or more and this board is already making life easier. I started a jiggie today and have tried folding it away and carrying it. I found it all stayed together and didn't move. I can now leave my jiggie on the floor without dreading the cat running over it and sending it flying.The working surface works for me. The pieces don't move about. I usually buy Ravensburger jigsaws and the one I am doing right now is sitting perfectly. If I had read the very negative reviews first I might not have bought this and went for something more expensive so I am glad I made a purchase on impulse just this once.

I was a bit hesitant about buying this as there were some poor reviews, but I'm glad I took a chance, really pleased with it. It certainly beats the green felt that I was using to do jigsaws on. Stored vertically some of the loose pieces do slip around a bit, but the jigsaw stays intact. I haven't had a problem either with the flatness of the surface, which some reviewers have criticised, although perhaps if it was a very cheap jigsaw with very thin pieces this could be an issue, but I always go for good quality jigsaws. When opened out on the table it is rather large, but I guess it couldn't be much smaller and still hold a 1000 piece jigsaw. Very quick and easy though to fold up if the table is needed for other things.

For all these years I've been using a piece of plyboard that slips under the sofa, to do my puzzles. I finally got fed up with having to blow off dust, cat fur and 'lord knows what' every time I pulled it out (I always have a puzzle on the go, but sometimes don't feel the mood for days/weeks/months - I'm not talking daily dust here, I'm not a minger) I saw this and thought I'd give it a go. Perfect! I was afraid to lift it upright with a puzzle in progress, but it doesn't budge... So much so it's been on various car journeys and still nothing moved. I love the removable two trays too, so useful to do smaller parts of the puzzle before you put them into the main area. So impressed that I ordered another one for my daughter.

Great idea for jigsaws it's not cheap but at least you can put it away till the next time you are doing your jigsaw what a great idea I use mine all the time

It's nice and long and big to put a big jigsaw and keep doing it there's different parts where you can keep your jigsaws pieces separate well with the money

Given as a well Received gift Just what every puzzler needs Plenty of room to sort and store puzzle pieces , fits under the sofa when not in use Very sturdy great price too.

Having seen a friends portable puzzle holder I was keen to get one, unfortunately, this one is not as good. It's ok, but hard to open and a little more bulky than I expected.
