Jigthings – Jigsort 1000 – Jigsaw Puzzle Board with Carry Case for Puzzles up to 29.5" x 20.5". Saves and Stores Most 1000 Piece Puzzles

I own one of these and bought this one for my son and his wife. Living in small apartments makes it very hard to do puzzles. This case is perfect. I usually don't put it away in the zipped outer-case. I just slide the board with the puzzle on it under my love-seat. My son does the same with his sofa. The case makes it perfect to bring along on vacation. It really holds the puzzle together. I can't rave about it enough! I usually do the 1,000 piece White Mountain Puzzles that are 24 x 30 inches. Not many boards out there can hold this size puzzle. I love that I can pull it out and on my table and then slide it away at dinner time. The quality of the case and the broad is excellent. I especially love the board which I use the most. It has a nice cloth base and is very sturdy. It also has a nice edge which is very helpful. I bought cheaper ones in the past that were a waste of money. I think this one is worth every penny. I love it! I think you will too.

I found a passion for puzzles recently & after putting two puzzles together (1000 piece each) & ending up with missing pieces, I decided to invest in this. The felt holds the pieces & has prevented me from dropping as many. I've completed two puzzles since receiving it & I absolutely love the quality of this & the sorting trays too. I haven't tried transporting it. My only complaint or warning would be that this is heavy when it's in the case. I would recommend sizing up on the case so you have flexibility on the different sizes of 500 piece puzzles. I am completing 500 piece puzzles on the 1,000 Jigsaw tray. If I were still working on 1,000 piece puzzles, I would have ordered the 1,500 to have some flexibility on space.

Jigthings Ltd puzzle cases are the best. I also have the one that holds 2000 piece puzzle and it's really large and a little heavy but so very worth it and now I've received the 1000 piece case. I highly recommend these cases. The board can come out of the case if you have a place to leave it up or puts away very easily to keep pets and "helpful" little grandbaby hands or if you just need the space. Great to take in RV's.

After trying the much cheaper, but utterly useless Puzzle Storage for Upto 1000 Pieces I decided to give Jigthings' Jigsort for 1000 pieces a try. With a price-tag of $95, I was hesitant to make such an expensive purchase, but the jigsort promised to be the answer to all of my puzzling problems and, having heard good things about the customer service offered by Jigsort (the company that sell this item and many other puzzle-related products through Amazon) I felt reasonably assured that if I wasn't completely happy with my purchase, I would at least be able to return it without too much hassle. After ordering my jigsort, it was shipped out by Jigthings the very next day, and was delivered to me via UPS three days later. The item came well packaged and I unwrapped it eagerly. I must say that I was immediately very happy with my purchase. I was concerned that despite the expensive price-tag, this product might be cheaply made. But, not at all! The Jigsort is sturdy and very well made. I was very impressed with the level of quality and thought that went into its design. It looks rather nice, too. I was predominantly interested in this product because it includes a "jigboard", which is basically a large piece of wood covered in fabric that has a shallow "lip" around the edge. Both the fabric cover and the raised lip are intended to prevent puzzle pieces from sliding over the edge of the board, and they both work EXTREMELY well in doing so. Of the six 500 piece puzzles I have completed on this board so far, the only jigsaw pieces that have ended up on the floor are ones that I have dropped or that were caught up in my sweater sleeve; neither of which are instances that I feel the jigboard should be faulted for. The fabric covering of the jigboard is easy to work with. I was worried it would "snag" on the puzzle pieces and make them difficult to handle; but that's actually not the case at all. I can still very easily slide my puzzle pieces into place and pick them up as I wish. The fabric covering offers just enough "grip" to the pieces to prevent them being blown out of position by a breeze, or a slight knock to the board. The lip is just the right height - it doesn't get in the way of me working on my jigsaw puzzles, but still manages to stop the pieces from spilling over the edge. When you've finished working on your jigsaw for the time being, the jigboard comes with a sheet which you can place over the incomplete puzzle to protect it and further prevent pieces from being dislodged. The sheet is quite light-weight, with a smooth black "top" and a light, spongy underside that lays against the pieces. I was skeptical at first when I placed the sheet over my jigsaw, as I feared that when I lifted it off, all the pieces might slide or "lift" with it. But again - this is not the case at all. When I lift the sheet off to resume work on my puzzle, all the pieces are pretty much in exactly the same position that I left them in. Also worthy of note is the fact that the jigboard is excellent at preventing cats from messing up your puzzles too badly. My cat LOVES it when I'm working on a jigsaw puzzle. She likes to stalk all over the jigboard and bat at the jigsaw pieces with her paws. Whilst the jigboard certainly can't prevent my cat's love of jigsaw puzzles, it DOES help to keep the trouble she causes to a minimum. Individual puzzle pieces are less likely to be knocked out of place when she stalks over them, and thanks to the raised edge of the jigboard, those that she does bat around at least don't end up being sent flying over the edge of the board and onto the floor. I really can't imagine working on a jigsaw puzzle WITHOUT the jigboard. The only criticism I do have about the jigboard is its size. Whilst the size of the board is recommended for 1,000 piece puzzles, I have been saddened to discover that many 1000 puzzles that I have looked into purchasing are too large for this board by barely an inch! This is really quite frustrating when the size difference is so tiny. Obviously, this product includes a case for you to store your jigsaw puzzle in when you don't want to leave it out - and I'll focus now on commenting on that. It is, regretfully, the case (and the slightly too-small size of the jigboard) that caused me to give this product 4 stars, instead of 5. The case is sturdily made and looks pretty nice. When I brought it, I had hoped to leave the jigboard inside the case and work on my jigsaws from there. But unfortunately the case's lid is just too big and heavy to be balanced against the wall behind the table, and kept falling down and hitting me on the head whilst I was working on a jigsaw. My table is too narrow for me to be able to set the case's lid down flat, so I had to remove the jigboard from the case and store the case elsewhere until I need it. In the two or three months that I've had my jigsort, I've had very little chance to use the actual case. My jigsaws have been quite safe on the table, and the protective sheet it comes with has allowed me to simply cover them up and keep them safe and protected when not in use. If I need to use the table space for other things, I just cover the jigsaw with the sheet and work on top of the jigboard. It's very convenient and saves a lot of trouble trying to get the board into the case. Due to the large size of board and case, it'd be quite difficult to transfer the board into the case. But I cannot fault the jigboard or case for this - most 1,000 pieces jigsaws are simply just very large! The biggest letdown to this product, however, is the four sort trays. These have simply proven so unpractical that I tried them once, quickly gave up, and have never used them since. The sort trays are basically thin, fabric-covered sheets which feature a design that lets you slide a "lid" over the top of the sheets when you want to store them. My problem with them is that there just isn't enough of a "lip" between sheet and cover, and so I found it really hard to "slide" the lid in place. (If you have a jigsaw with particularly thick puzzle pieces, this is especially difficult.) In the process of doing so, I'd often knock my jigsaw pieces out of place. A further problem I found was that the sort trays were too large. They were just too big to lay on the jigboard itself, so I had to set them on the table beside the board. Unfortunately, there simply isn't room on the table for me to place more than one sort tray beside the board. In the end, I brought some 16oz ziploc boxes from my local grocery store, and now I use them. When I'm working on my puzzles, I spread the pieces out on the jigboard, then sort them depending on which area of the puzzle they are from, and place each set of pieces in a different container, which I set aside until I'm ready to work on that particular part. Then, I spread out the pieces from the part of the jigsaw's image I want to work on, and complete them on the jigboard. This works quite well for me. But I was sorry that the sort trays included with the jigsort itself weren't particularly useful. In conclusion then, I give this product a 4 out of 5 stars. It's a great product, and I'm happy with it. But sometimes I wonder whether I should have just brought a JIGBOARD . Individual jigboards can be brought without the case for $45, and considering I've barely used my case since I brought it, I'd probably have considered it much better value to buy the board alone. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether the individual jigboard includes the protective top sheet. I found this particular aspect to be irreplaceable and extremely useful. In time, I guess the case will certainly come in useful. It's certainly nice to have the case around in case I do ever want to store my incomplete jigsaws away for a time, but in all honesty, if that were the case, I'd probably be putting it back in the case because I expected to leave it there long-term, and in which case, I may just as well have been happy to try putting the incomplete jigsaw back into the box in as much of a partially completed condition as I could manage.

I love this jigsaw puzzle case! I can finally work on a puzzle and safely store it away if I need to. I just slide my puzzle under the couch in this case until I'm ready to work it again. One thing that surprised me was the weight. The weight does not bother me and makes the case very sturdy. It is a bit heavy so make sure you look at the weight because it may be an issue for you.

This case is very substantial. As advertised, I can do a 1000 piece puzzle and I can put it away with ease when I need the table. The four sorting board are a great way to separate different patterns to work on. This is worth the money as compared to the roll up storage options I have used before.

This is a great tool to keep your puzzle in progress stowed away without undoing all the work you've put in. I have parrots and have to put any puzzle up before I let the parrots out. Since that's a choir to do, I had stopped doing puzzles, but now that I have this case, I can do them anytime I want without dreading the choir of getting the puzzle out and then putting it back up each day. This makes it easy. The fabric really grips the pieces so they don't move around the case is plenty big enough so that you have room for the whole puzzle and separate spaces to put together different sections of the puzzle. It's easy to fold & zip up and is easy to carry around.

Love this! Can’t love without it! All puzzlers should have one!

Contenitore fantastico, consistente e di bell'aspetto per riporre e trasportare il puzzle, anche solo sul terrazzo o in vacanza. In un attimo il puzzle é disponibile sul suo vassoio rivestito di tessuto vellutato, e in un attimo è già riposto, liberando il tavolo per altri utilizzi. La valigetta è grande ma il suo spessore è minimo e consente di inserirla assai facilmente, appoggiandola alla parete di fondo di un armadio.

I researched lots of different types and sizes of jigsaw storage cases before chosing this one. It seemed a lot of money to spend, but now I have the case and am using it for a puzzle I can appreciate the benefits this has over other cases I looked at. Big plus - Jigsort 1000 is slightly more generous in size than the other 1000 piece ones I considered - that bit of extra space gives me a wider choice of puzzles including Ravensburger 1000's which wouldn't fit on the others. It is convenient that the puzzle board can be removed from the case, and because the board is rigid so it doesn't need a fully supportive base to sit on - so I can do a puzzle sat in bed if I wanted. I have so far stored the case vertically with the frame of a puzzle complete and there has been no slipping of the pieces. The nice plastic-backed felt sheet that goes over the surface of the puzzle before storage contributes to this, along with the slightly padded walls of the case. The sorting trays are a nice convenient not too large size. The slide on covers seemed a little fiddly the first couple of times I used them but now I have the knack of closing them without the pieces moving. The case is nice and robust and because it zips up completely there is no possibility of pieces falling out during transit. The felt material that covers the surface of the working board keeps the pieces from slipping about although it's still easy to move pieces in to place as needed. All in all very happy. My first puzzle on this Jigsort is coming along great (Schmidt "Ciro Marchetti Space Station") and it's so nice to be able to pack it away securely and out of the way when I'm not working on it.

Article très cher et très encombrant/lourd. Mais il est vraiment très pratique pour les amateurs de puzzles qui tiennent à garder un intérieur rangé! Je le glisse derrière le canapé lorsqu'il est vide et sous le canapé lorsque je l'utilise. Je recommande ce produit, validé par toute la famille, qui est un véritable investissement mais qui permet de faire des puzzles plus souvent sans avoir peur d'en mettre partout ou de perdre des pièces.

Just what I wanted. I did plenty of research before making this purchase, as it is the most expensive I found. However, the quality is excellent. Strong and rigid, I can't see this will ever need replacing. All the boards are of the same quality, rigid and hold pieces firm without any slipping so the whole puzzle can be sorted on to different boards according to colour etc, without any fear of sliding to the bottom of the case when packed away. The boards are all beautifully smooth and perfectly covered and the carry bag itself is smart and well made. Yes, its expensive, but worth the money - you get what you pay for. Added bonus: Ordered on the 19th arrived on the 21st and free delivery.

This product does exactly what it claims. It's not cheap, but for me it's well worth the money. The construction tray is light, but when placed in the carrier with all the bits it's quite heavy (6KG). The individual sort trays are really useful for building small parts of the overall puzzle before transferring to the main tray. The covers for the sort trays and the main construction are an excellent addition that really do keep the pieces from moving when stored. I definitely recommend this product.
