This Jigsaw Puzzle Mat by #3Otters is great for storing my jigsaw puzzles that I'm working on from losing pieces or having it come apart. I love the quality of this mat and how it can work for most of the puzzles I tend to do . I usually work on puzzles from 500-1000 pieces and occassionally a 1500 piece puzzle so the fact that this will work on puzzles up to 1500 pieces is perfect for my needs. I highly recommend if you're doing jigsaw puzzles this is a great way to keep pets who may walk on tables from wrecking all your hard work. At $9.99 it is well worth the investment. Especially if you're going to be gluing it together after putting them together and don't want to have to keep redoing the puzzle due to a cat or other pet Just use it for doing the puzzle together on it as a mat and then roll it up and put it together with the ties.
