I suppose there just aren't many good ways to transport a puzzle in progress, but it seems like there might be better ways than this. It does the job, and if you're careful enough in the rolling process, it does maintain your progress fairly well. The problem, however, is that the work surface is simply a sheet of vinyl with a velvety coating. The coating succeeds in keeping the pieces from sliding around, but it's an absolute magnet for the dust left in the box from cutting the puzzle, not to mention hair and other debris. The even worse problem, though, is that it's pretty much impossible to get the wrinkles out of the vinyl surface, even on a hard surface. That can be very frustrating in the early stages of working a puzzle. This item does the job, but it seems like a very thick sheet of felt might work better.

This puzzle mat is really helpful if you would like to put away your puzzle or move your puzzle somewhere. This puzzle mat works for big puzzles, I have been working on a 1000piece puzzle and it holds, as long as you roll it up tightly no pieces will fall out of place. Overall, this puzzle mat works pretty well, the inside is like felt so not to much stuff sticks to it. Overall, this mat works well, and is not that expensive! Thanks Amazon!!

This contraption has saved my puzzles in progress from the cat, the dog and a 2 year old. It is really nice to just roll up the puzzle just as you want to leave it (peices out and all) and put it away.

I searched for a puzzle saver that was functional, inexpensive, and easy to store and boy did I find it in this product. Having an autistic son who loves to touch and play with everything I needed something that really worked and could put away fast. This item holds all the pieces even the lose ones and when unrolled it was as if I never put it away. The only downfall I found was all the dust from the puzzles are caught in the felt and since it is new all the folds are hard to get out so it makes the surface bumpy, but by storing it I am noticing some of them smoothing out. At this price you can't beat the quality. I highly recommend this product.

My family enjoys doing a difficult puzzle together during the holidays, but it became a problem when the puzzle couldn't be transported easily and had to be partially disassembled to be relocated. I purchased the puzzle carrier to make the transportation process easier and less frustrating. However, it brought about new frustrations with the plethora of lint that sticks to the work surface and the wrinkles that make it very difficult for the smaller pieces to stay together. It was very nice to be able to move the puzzle from location to location without disassembling it, but it became very frustrating to try to keep the pieces together with the large wrinkles running through the vinyl backing. I assume that by storing it out of the box and rolled around the cylinder that the wrinkles would eventually be less prominent, but I have yet to experience that phenomenon.

This puzzlesaver works so much better than the Ravensburger puzzle saver because everything is attached and hold together fairly well. There only seems to be about three of this kind of product and we have tested them all. This one works best for us.

I didn't realize the roll on this mat was inflatable, but that gives it a bit of softness when rolling the puzzle. This is my first and only experience with a puzzle mat, so I have little to compare it to. It certainly keeps pieces from being lost to cats. I was pleasantly surprised how little problem we had with wrinkles in the fabric affecting how the puzzle pieces lay. I think when we've had it for a bit longer, there won't be any wrinkles at all. We are very excited to make our puzzles portable and this will certainly help prevent lost pieces.

This is a great idea for those who don't have a table to dedicate a puzzle to! I carried it all over the house-even worked my puzzle up on the bed while I watched a movie (but had to slide some cardboard underneath)... You do have to roll it tight and carefully or peices will be broken.. stays together easier when more peices are together too. Overall so happy to have this, now when i get bored I don't think twice about doing one of my puzzles, I can do it anywhere~

Overall, the puzzle saver is a great tool to have for my studnets. However, they quickly learned not to leave any pieces close to the edges because they easily slide out.

It works ok if you inflate it to the point where it seems like it's going to pop. Otherwise the pieces move around inside. Overall, not bad for what it allows you to do.
