Jumbo Portapuzzle Standard Jigsaw Puzzle Reviews Summary

Portability and Storage

Pros:

• "It's easy to keep the puzzle on it and transport it away so that you don't have puzzle pieces all over the table."
• "The board is easy to carry about as it fastens well with velcro to keep the pieces stable and is not so huge that it takes up too much room."
• "The thinness of the board, the way it folds up, the soft cover material, and the somewhat-grippy puzzle board fabric all combine to allow me to slide it under the guest bed."
• "You can then slide the case under a piece of furniture or, as I do, stand it up behind the furniture."
• "It folds up so nicely and I can put it away anywhere---even standing up."
• "It slides under the bed or down side of wardrobe (standing up) out of the way until needed."
• "It stores neatly under our couch or bed."

Cons:

• "This is rather bulky."
• "Definitely not for storing your puzzles vertically…you can, which I do because it’s all I have room to do, but I spend the first 5 minutes working on my puzzle by moving all of the loose pieces back onto the removable boards."
• "It is BIG, and so the 4 stars simply because it is very awkward with no handle on top."
• "I wish it had handle to carry easily."
• "It is a bit cumbersome."
• "But I wish I had gotten the smaller size and it is pretty heavy and awkward to carry and move."
• "The only reason I gave four instead of five stars is because you have to hold it level when walking with it otherwise the puzzle pieces shift."

Design and Build Quality

Pros:

• "The board is sturdy and easy to move around to other locations."
• "This thing is great! Once you close it up, the puzzle pieces really don't move at all!"
• "The velcro fastenings are strong and hold the jigsaw in place - even when storing upright."
• "It’s surprisingly sturdy - more so than cardboard or foamboard."
• "The construction quality was amazing. This will last forever."
• "This board has quality construction and is built for regular use."
• "It's very well made. The material seems high quality and thick, I don't think I'll ever wear it out."

Cons:

• "The first thing I noticed, all the pieces slide to the bottom unless it stays almost completely horizontal."
• "Puzzle board is flat on the table, but the inner fabric is not tightly affixed to the backing, but sewn only to the outside edge."
• "A piece of cardboard curved for a while."
• "The two smaller boards are not sturdy and the covering is not attached to the inner cardboard so the material bubbles and pieces don't stay in place very well."
• "The material is loose thus causing ripples in the fabric which makes doing puzzles impossible."
• "The flaps don't come together in the middle on our board."
• "The small edge flaps that close last don't go all the way across."

User Experience

Pros:

• "I love love love this product! I can now do puzzles when my little one sleeps and pack it up in 5 seconds so it doesn't get destroyed."
• "Very pleased with my purchase. Excellent price too."
• "This puzzle holder is perfect. I would highly recommend it."
• "These mats are brilliant I own two, one to store the puzzles I want to frame, and one to do the puzzles on."
• "This has to be one of the best purchases I have ever made."
• "I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it."
• "This is a great product for a great price."

Cons:

• "Money wasted!"
• "The inside felt has some wrinkles and isn't totally taut."
• "Also some Pieces can fall out the corners where there isn't any velcro."
• "The cloth on the board is not tight and ripples which is annoying when placing puzzle pieces."
• "But i have to deduct 2 stars because it has a very strong chemical odor that really bothers me."
• "I'm very disappointed and I definitely would not recommend this product."
• "Very disappointed with this item. It is very badly marked and stained and the felt is creased so the puzzle does not lay flat."
