Friendly place to discuss puzzles and share pictures of jigsaw puzzles you have completed. Please do not keep posting the same puzzle over and over again or puzzles other people completed. If you do a puzzle a second time, you can post it again but wait about 30 days between posts and let everyone know you did it again.

Be sure to list the name (if known) puzzle brand, piece count. If you want to remark on quality, artist or degree of difficulty it is ok too.

The only time I might downvote or remove a post or comment is if it is inappropriate. I fully understand and appreciate that not all of us have the same skill levels, financial or physical ability or the same amount of time to devote to doing jigsaw puzzles. Therefore I always upvote every puzzle posted, even if may not be one I truly like.

Please be nice, no abusive comments

We use the Lavievert board and case - bought it on Amazon. The trays are nice but too small. We use cafeteria trays with fabric attached with double sided carpet tape. We have it about 2 years, starting to show signs of wear. There may be better products, hopefully others will comment.

You can get good puzzles at many stores, Amazon, Target, Barns & Noble etc. . Some of our favorite brands include Ravensburger, Springbok, Buffalo, White Mountain, Vermont Christmas Company, SunsOut. There are other brands, hopefully others will comment.

We also use a cheap, "Lifetime" brand 48 inch fold in half round portable table, it is not very sturdy but does hold everything we need.

Good Luck, looking forward to seeing some pictures of the completed puzzles.
