3.0 out of 5 stars A good idea with some flaws, September 24, 2008

By 

Karen D (NY United States) - See all my reviews

= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Ravensburger Stow & Go - Puzzle Accessories (Toy)

The idea of storing a puzzle in progress is very appealing, but this mat has so many creases in it, that it made it very difficult to keep the puzzle flat while we were working on it.

The rolling-up part was not too difficult, and it unrolled nicely with the puzzle still intact.

I would prefer if it came with 3 bands instead of 2 so that it was more secure when rolled up.

The color of the mat is supposed to be a bright color so it makes it easier to see the peices, however the mat that I got is black.
It's also made of felt, so if you have pets, it will collect some hair.

I am going to attempt to iron the mat before using it again to see if this will help smooth it out.

2.0 out of 5 stars Does not lie flat, January 11, 2008

This came out of the box all folded up, so it had many large creases in it. Even after trying to press out the creases it will not lie flat, so my jigsaw is coming apart because the mat is so uneven. Not really happy with this product.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Ravensburger Stow & Go - Puzzle Accessories (Toy)

I was a bit skeptical of this product before I purchased it but after reading all the reviews on Amazon I thought it was a good bet. It works very nicely. Not surprisingly, you do have to do a bit of refitting everytime you unroll it because some piece edges separate but it's not a big deal. I've noticed that as you complete more of the puzzle this becomes less of a problem. My only comment would be the size. I typically get puzzles no less than 1500 and this product was a bit too small for the average 1500 piece puzzle (unless it has unusual dimensions). Otherwise it's very nice AND washable, a plus after my cat annointed it.
