How to Choose the Right Puzzle Table for Your Space and Style
If you’re an avid puzzler, or just getting started, you know how crucial the proper workspace can be. A good puzzle table should provide comfort while you solve a jigsaw puzzle but also help protect your progress and keep your space organized. We offer a wide assortment of jigsaw puzzle tables designed to suit any puzzler’s needs. Here are four factors to consider when choosing the right jigsaw puzzle table for your puzzling needs.
Consider Where You’ll Use It
Before selecting a table, consider where you’ll do most of your puzzling. Do you need dedicated space or flexibility to move from room to room?
- Small spaces: Look for a foldable puzzle table or a portable puzzle board with legs that can be easily stored when not in use.
- Dedicated puzzle corners: Choose a larger tilting table with drawers or surface area that stays in place and can hold in-progress puzzles safely.
- Multi-use rooms: Consider a puzzle easel or puzzle pad that can be easily moved so you can pause without losing your work.
Match the Table to Your Puzzle Habits
Your ideal puzzle table depends on how you put a jigsaw puzzle together and how many hours you puzzle at one time:
- Long puzzling sessions: Choose a table with adjustable height or tilt to reduce neck and back strain.
- Casual puzzlers: A portable tray table or lap puzzle board may be all you need for occasional evenings or weekend puzzling.
- Group puzzling: Select a table with a generous surface area so multiple people can work on the puzzle.
Bits and Pieces offers tables for all puzzle sizes, with models that accommodate everything from 500-piece to 1,500-piece puzzles.
Look for Helpful Features
A great puzzle table should do more than hold pieces; it should make puzzles easier and more enjoyable. Look for features such as:
- Non-slip surfaces to keep your puzzle in place
- Side drawers or sorting trays for organizing pieces by color or shape
- Spinning tabletops to allow easy access from all angles
- Felt surfaces that prevent slipping and make it easier to pick up pieces
These features also improve accessibility by helping users manage pieces with less fine motor effort or repetitive motion.
Choose Quality and Durability
Many of our table options feature solid wood frames, reinforced legs, and easy-to-clean surfaces. For our portable options, they include Velcro® straps for a tight closure to protect your puzzles while you're not working on them, making it easy to transport them to different puzzling areas.
