Customer Rating:      Summary: Very poor design Comment: There is very little to recommend this product. When it is opened out it is huge and unwieldy. To close it up all the pieces from the side flaps have to be removed and then all put out again next time. In desperation I cut the side flaps off so I can place the three parts separately on the table then when I want to store it I place the sections with the loose pieces on top of the jigsaw. If I want to store it vertically I place felt on the pieces, then cardboard, secured by elastic!! What a performance. The Jigsort is miles better.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Jumbo Portapuzzle Comment: I found this puzzle board to be both poorly designed and low quality.
The board was surfaced with material that was loosly fitted and already creased, totaly unsuitable for holding puzzle pieces in place.
The velcro fixings for holding the board closed when not in use, were far too extensive and meant that the puzzle would invariably end up on the floor before you could open it up.
My old board that is now ten years old is far better with a proper non slip flat bed ideal for holding the puzzle in place. I shall have to stick with the old board for a few more years.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not a Smoothie Comment: We'd thought about one of these for a while and were really looking forward to using it when we eventually placed an order. However, we were very disappointed when it arrived. The overall construction appeared nice and strong but what let it down was the poor working surface - and that's the whole purpose of it. The material is not glued into place but is simply sewn around the edges. On ours it was badly creased and so loosely fitted the jigsaw pieces kept coming apart. We quickly gave up and put the jigsaw back into the box. The Portapuzzle simply went back. We are now the delighted owners of a Jigsort 1500.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Less ear ache for puzzlers! Comment: This is brilliant, if like me your wife is always on your back to clear away your half done jigsaw so you can have your tea on the table ( I for one am more than happy to have it on my knee in front of the telly), then this is for you.
You simply open out the Portapuzzle and build your jigsaw on top, then when you need to move it fold in the flaps and it holds it securly in place and can then fit neatly under the sofa or against a wall out of the way. No more trying to put as larger chunks as possible back in the box.
