Few things are as satisfying as creating a masterpiece from hundreds and hundreds of tiny little colorful pieces. And that experience is further elevated when you're able to create it in perfect comfort or come back to your jigsaw project if you need to. Or even rest safe in the knowledge that you can store all your favorite collections until you feel like going back to putting them all together again.

The best puzzle boards are just what you need to make that all happen. And some of them will even enable you to take your prized possessions about with you — to the park, the beach, or on holiday, too. Here's a roundup of the best puzzle boards to help you enjoy creating one beautiful picture after another and even share the experience too.

The Jigsoo Store’s 1,500-Piece Puzzle Board is ideal for puzzles with several hundreds of pieces. Thanks to the presence of two adjustable legs, you’d be able to place it on any suitable level surface and get to assembling your jigsaw right away. You will also have the option of no less than six drawers for storage purposes — with four out of them featuring divisions. And they’re all magnetic, too, meaning they have what it takes to keep your different jigsaws secure.

It also comes with a plastic puzzle mat, which means you’ll also be able to keep any projects you’re working on safe from dust, while the puzzle board remains concealed under a bed or seat and out of the reach of curious little fingers.

If you're in search of a puzzle board that will let you work on your favorite puzzle with several hundreds of pieces, and let you store it up while saving on space, this option is for you. Genovega's Jigsaw Puzzle Roll-Up Mat also comes in solid black, so you'll be able to spot your colorful pieces with ease. And because it is covered in nonslip felt, unlike certain boards with smooth surfaces, you will be able to work with pieces that stay precisely where you want them to.

And to store your jigsaw, all you'd have to do is inflate the tube, set it on the mat on which your jigsaw pieces have been placed, and then roll it up. Once you've secured it with the three bands, you'll be able to place it into its portable storage bag. Such a setup ensures you'll be able to work on your puzzle whenever or wherever you want to.

The BittPicc Jigsaw Puzzle Table is easy to set up and does not require any assembly. It is capable of handling most 1,500-piece jigsaws and also comes with four drawers which have metal clips for keeping their contents safe and snug.

What's more, this puzzle board also comes with an adjustable easel that can be set to a choice of four different angles between zero and forty degrees. The surface of the easel is also felt-lined to prevent pieces from falling off, while the table itself can also be used for reading or even playing games. The thoughtful design means that this option is not only especially convenient but also versatile.

The Becko US Puzzleboard is made of medium-density fiberboard known for its smoothness and durability. Its size is pretty impressive, too (roughly two and a half feet by just under two feet), making it ideal for most puzzles that come with 1,000 pieces. The puzzle board also comes with a bracket that can be adjusted to two angles reducing possible strain on your neck.

What’s more, this puzzle board’s is not only sturdy but compatible with other puzzle boards too. This can be great news, especially if you show up at a fellow jigsaw enthusiast’s with the stand but have forgotten the board at home. And it’s also lightweight since it’s been made from pinewood and is non-toxic. It's simple but effective and certainly one of the best puzzle boards available.

The Puzzle Board with Drawers & Cover Mat is 2.5 by 2 feet — all covered with felt to provide the necessary friction for your jigsaw pieces. At that size, it’s suitable for most 1,000-piece puzzles. It’s portable and has been made using lightweight yet robust materials, making it easy for you to take it with you wherever you go.

There are also four sorting trays with bold colors in which you’d be able to store your puzzles while you’re working on them. And the non-slip feet of the puzzle board help prevent any scuffs on any surfaces you place the puzzle board on.

The Lavievert Portable Puzzle Board Kit comes with a board that can be removed from the casing and placed on a flat surface for use. Thanks to its size of 35.8 x 25.8 inches (35.6 × 25.6 inches of useable space), it is capable of handling most 1,500-piece jigsaw sets.

There’s a soft flannelette lining to provide friction for any pieces placed on it. There are also six sorting trays which all have their own slots in the bag — you even have the option of slipping a name card in each to make identification easier. The bag itself comes in an alluring royal blue made from polyester, which is also water-resistant. And it comes with thickened protective felt padding, making it mishap-resistant: good news for your masterpiece, and the longevity of those jigsaw pieces too.

What Is The Best Puzzle Board?

Jigsoo's 1,500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle Board, with its six drawers and glossy frame, is the best overall option. It's spacious enough to accommodate several 1,500-piece puzzles and those which have fewer pieces. It's also been made from especially robust, high-quality material while its dark plastic cover is a rather handy feature.

Our second-best choice is the BittPicc Jigsaw Puzzle Table which comes with a puzzle board totally covered in high-quality felt which can also be tilted to reduce the pressure on your back and neck.

Genovega's Jigsaw Puzzle Roll-Up Mat also deserves special mention thanks to its space-saving abilities and the fact that it can handle up to 2,000 jigsaw pieces. Especially since you can roll it around an inflatable tube, and take it along with you, or place it in an unobtrusive spot.

Those that are meant to be portable can also provide an added dimension of flexibility, enabling you to take your jigsaw puzzles, to picnics, the park, or on a trip.

Q: Are all puzzle boards portable?
