Review on Lovinouse Portable Puzzles Storage Non Slip Puzzles for Puzzle Accessories by Gabe Evans

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Update: thin cardboard, no wood. The fabric is loose in places.

I bought a 1000 piece puzzle board and tested it earlier (*see below) and now I want to say that I will buy this 1000 piece board again as a gift for a family of four. I found another style board after purchasing this board that has a wooden plank so there are no creases and openings at the top instead of the sides. I love this design. I was considering buying this as a gift but thought this design on this plaque would be better for a group of people around a table. Another reason I'm willing to risk another purchase is because I read a review on the same identical board from another seller who said the buyer was able to iron out the crease in the loose material. I haven't tried it yet, but if I do I'll iron it delicately and without steam so as not to stretch the material anymore. But I will not do this until I have already completed the puzzle on the board. The closed module flexes when lifted to move even when closed. It also needs to be moved horizontally so the pieces don't fall off the fabric. It's not a comfortable fit for holding parts. Difficult to maneuver in some doors for the above reasons. The fabric on the box is loose and has a central crease on the main board, and on some boards the loose fabric is puckered in places as the fabric is not glued or firmly attached to the box. However, since it's not glued, it's dense enough that the pieces will hold well when the board is flat in any case. That. I'm definitely keeping it. Otherwise enough I think.
