I just visited the site and OH MY GOODNESS! I wanted to stay and work those puzzles so bad but if I start I'll never get around to making progress on any of my projects I have waiting in my sewing room. Thanks, Fran!

I love Ravensburgers, too! Cobbler Hill is another high quality one. Nothing less than 1,000 pieces for me. One of my favourite kind is where both sides are printed. The design is the same, but one side is turned 90°, It's called the World's Impossible Puzzle. I'mstillchloecat, I no sooner sit down to work at my puzzle and someone invariably jumps right on it.

Those sorting boxes aren't very big, so not as many pieces are viewable at once as in a larger tray or whatever. The sorting boxes could be helpful, though, and maybe they are a good gift to a jigsaw puzzler. Yeonassky--with a 2000 piece puzzle you would need a lot of sorting space! Are you the one who works without looking at the picture???? Fun--those mats look very handy. I'd only have room for one. Yellow color is helpful. lgmd--shoebox lid....brilliant. The sides aren't too high to shade the pieces near the edge. I do find with the cake pans and box lid that the sides are a little high. jkay-- paper plates another good idea, maybe the firm white ones (not slippery, not print). foggy--baking sheets would be good as well because of the low sides. sushi--cake pans, yes, are good. I found a pie pan today which might work too. Thanks everyone, Happy puzzling. I splurged and bought a $20 puzzle today, but I'm looking forward to working it and it will take me a while.

I don't think Bits & Pieces is the best quality puzzle, but they usually give a free one with purchase, so they might be a little more economical than others. I'm working one now. I'm not crazy about their images, but I think they have some nice shaped puzzles. One thing about B&P is that a few pieces in each puzzle don't lock in, just but up against their proper position. I agree with Sushipup, puzzlewarehouse carries good quality. Thanks for the link to jigsawjunkies. Will check out Liberty Puzzles. Thanks, wiscokid. Rob, I don't think the thickness of the pieces is listed on the box, but if you stick with the better brands (puzzlewarehouse), you should feel happier with the pieces. If you check out jigsawjunkies, they have a brand comparison and one of the items they evaluate is piece thickness. There is a chart. Pretty colors in your puzzle. I could not do that one!!!
