Jumbo, Puzzle Mates, Portapuzzle - Standard 1,500 Piece Jigsaw Storage Board Case, Jigsaw Puzzle Accessories, Puzzle Storage

Love my puzzle mat!! Makes it easy to put it away and not take over the dining roomLots of room to lay out your pieces to sort

Being able to quickly and easily pack up an in-progress puzzle without messing anything up is everything, as is being able to move the whole thing off the table and under a couch or bed. The material is perfect, smooth but not slippery. Pieces move nicely across the fabric. I haven't experienced any ripples in the fabric. The jumbo size can accommodate all of my 1000, 1500, and 2000 piece puzzles - anything up to 34 x 24 will allow for a bit of space all the way around. Be sure to check the underside of the two detached sorting surfaces when moving them as pieces can stick. Not a problem, just something to be aware of. It's fairly sturdy and might be tight enough when packed up, but I still haven't tried storing upright (not flat) with loose pieces. And I can't really image working on anything but a firm surface that fits the whole thing laid out flat, including both sides. It's great to be able to use the table for puzzling and dining intermittently throughout the day.

he Jumbo Puzzle Mates Portapuzzle is my favorite for 1,000-1,500 piece puzzles! It’s easy to move between puzzle sessions, and the two additional Velcro mats provide extra storage, making sorting and organizing pieces a breeze. This is especially helpful for keeping pieces safe—no more losing them to cat play!While I switch to a board with drawers for 2,000-piece puzzles, this one is perfect for mid-sized puzzles. I’ve even ordered multiple times as gifts because it’s such a great find. Highly recommend for any puzzle enthusiast!

I absolutely love my Portapuzzle!! There's only one reason I didn't give it 5 stars and that's because it doesn't have a handle. Surely they could figure out a way to put a handle on it. It would make it much easier to carry around. Still, that's minor compared to everything I love about it. It's very well made. The material seems high quality and thick, I don't think I'll ever wear it out. I was worried about the Velcro when I ordered it because Velcro can wear out pretty quick but I don't think this will be wearing out any time soon. It grabs and holds so that it sometimes takes a couple tugs to loosen it and it's a thick strip, again high quality. The material on the inside is equally well made and feels soft to the touch, I like the way it feels. I was worried it might be a cheap felt and I hate the feel of felt, but no worries there. This is almost like a suede or something. The color is perfect too, it makes the puzzle pieces easy to see. Some people mentioned a wrinkle in the material down the middle so I'll address that as well. It's not really a wrinkle, it's an indention from where the two separate boards meet and it's been stored like that with no puzzle in it. To prevent that, maybe they should store it with a thin piece of cardboard or something between the work area and the two separate boards that lay on top. But the puzzle does lay flat across it, it doesn't make any of the pieces protrude or anything. And the one thing that really had me and others worried when ordering it, it does keep the puzzle safe and secure inside while carrying it. I've heard conflicting reviews on this but I've had absolutely no trouble. I carried it around (vertically) when I had only the outline done and all throughout the process of putting the puzzle together, it didn't slip an inch! In fact, put the puzzle where you want it when you first begin because you're not going to be able to slide it around at all (I tried once, it won't budge). Now, I will say that when I first started putting the puzzle together and so had a lot of loose pieces on the two separate boards that come with it, they did slip a little bit when I carried it vertically, maybe an inch. They kind of bunched up a bit (not one on top of the other or anything but they did slide down). That wasn't as much of an issue as I had less pieces on those two boards. BUT, the puzzle itself didn't move a centimeter when carried around. Now, when I pick up the Portapuzzle, I don't just grab it and let it fall into a vertical position. I grab it at the top and bottom and gently lower it into a vertical position and then carry it by the top. I don't swing it around and bump it against things. Also, I suggest you don't grab it by the sides and carry it. I've found that causes it to bow a little bit and the loose puzzle pieces slide more when you do it that way. Grab it by the top and bottom. I use it on a 37" square table and the part of the Portapuzzle that you work on comes right to the sides of the table so that when I open it, I allow the two wings to hang down. That was something else I was worried about. I knew I didn't have a big enough table to put it on and use it with the wings out flat and I was worried I might eventually crack it or wear it out if I constantly allowed those wings to hang down but, again, my fears were needless. It's material there (thick material like a canvas) and you can position the wings up, to the sides, flat, or down without worrying about wearing them out. The working part and the wings are nice and stiff but they do have a little give to them so you'd probably have trouble just sitting this on your lap, it would bow a little. It would be too big anyway. You need to work on something flat. All in all, I'm pleasantly surprised by the Portapuzzle and won't hesitate to order one for a friend. I'm thrilled I didn't spend $129 on a Jigsort which I was seriously considering. No, the Portapuzzle is half the price and is high quality and does an excellent job holding the puzzle secure. Don't hesitate to order this!!

What a game changer! Lots of space to keep pieces organized and easy to find. Keeps puzzle pieces secure when not in use.

perfect size and keeps all the pieces together.
