In my free time I like to collect jigsaw puzzles while we watch sitcoms or relax in the evenings. We have four cats and they like to lay on my pieces or hit them when I get up from the table. This puzzle board is well made and has four drawers, two on each side. The size is just right for a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle, leaving room for the pieces to be scattered around for viewing. Personally, I like to use drawers to separate colored items. It comes with a clear protector that I use to protect the parts when I store it. There are two raised edges to keep the pieces from sliding off when I lean over the board. It's big but I like to keep it under our sofa where everything stays intact until I put it back together. I would highly recommend this product for its quality, design and value.
