Tomorotec Puzzle Mat Roll Up 1500 Pieces Felt Saver with Storage Bag | 25% Larger 4 Inch Inflatable Tube Minimizes Creasing, Includes Mini Pump & Elastic Fasteners, Hangs In Closet Or On Door

I bought this for my wife so she could use it to take a large jigsaw puzzle of the Blue Ridge Parkway to Hobby Lobby to have it framed. She put it on a table and put the puzzle together on the mat. When she was finished, she rolled it up, took it to be framed and the mat held it together perfectly. The only complaint was a little pump that came with the mat. It didn't work at all. She had to blow it up by mouth, like you would a pool toy. A little disappointed with that, but the way it worked was the main thing.

It didn't work well for puzzles for me. It's really sticky and it's hard to move any pieces around. Also it's a magnet for cat hair and you can't even vacuum the stuff off of it. And it wasn't big enough for the 2000 piece puzzle that I wanted to do.But I'm reading it highly because my cat thinks that it is the best toy ever and she loves playing with it. She likes to use it as a fort and tackle and kick it.

My oldest son is very into puzzles, but there never seems to be enough room in his creative space for both larger puzzles and lego sets to be left out. I hunted around for a roll away puzzle mat for him to use and ordered this one. I am absolutely SHOCKED by how HUGE this mat is!!! It comes with a small 'pillow' to be blown up with the provided pump and you roll the mat around the 'pillow' to roll the puzzle up. It is super simple to use and also has an instruction sheet. This thing is honestly so cool, I can't wait for my son to try it out!

I am enjoying having a black background surface, but this one could be done a bit better. First, while it has a tube to wrap it around, it arrives folded in rectangles and needs ironed before you can even try to put a puzzle together on it. The surface stayed a little bit puckered and would often push assembled pieces apart. And finally, the rough felt 'grabs' the pieces and makes it nearly impossible to slide assembled blocks into place. I'm finding this a great concept but it would be much better in a smoother material that would lay flat and on which you could slide your work more easily.

Puzzle pick up and transport. Big enough for my large puzzle size 26.75"x19.75". Added advice for the company would to include 2- 2'x1" velcro pieces in addition to velcro straps. I added a couple pieces of smaller velcro prior to using straps to secure felt and it worked great to hold felt and puzzle in place while I used 2 hands for the straps to be placed. Nice to have the black background to see puzzle pieces better too.

This gets lots of use at my mother's house. She received it as a Xmas gift five months ago. It is surprisingly simple; a piece of felt-like material that rolls and can be easily transferred. My mom doesn't bother using the inflatable piece and she doesn't hang these in the closet, though I find the latter feature to be ingenious. I imagine a DIY would work just as well.

No instructions and not obvious how it should be used. Gave as a gift and recipient did let me know it worked well.

It works just as it says it does, however, for me I have arm & shoulder problems & it sticks so very well that once placed it it hard to pick up and put elsewhere. Not all pieces but some were like they were glued there for me. My grandkids and kids had no problems with it though, so overall I'd have to say I recommend it.
