Melissa & Doug Deluxe Natural Wood Puzzle Storage Case

I bought this because I have a ton of puzzles for my 19 year old son. I like keeping things organized and so I found this to be a great product. My only problem is that I have a few of the Melissa & Doug Wooden Chunky Puzzles, and they do NOT fit into the storage case! Surprising since the case is also made by Melissa & Doug.

First of all, I Love Melissa and Doug products. I have purchased many puzzles for my 18 month old son and I love how the basic puzzles have large knobs for little hands to grab. However, when I purchased this puzzle sorter I just assumed that all Melissa and Doug puzzles would fit on a Melissa and Doug Puzzle storage case. When I received this product I found that not a single puzzle will fit in the case! Bummer.

I had accumulated several wooden puzzles for my young grandchildren. Storing them neatly was a problem. Problem Solved! Puzzles go in and out easily. I recommend it highly.

This is a great way to keep all of my daughters regular size puzzled organized, but the Melissa & Doug "chunky" puzzles did not fit. The puzzle pieces are too thick for the slots. I plan on painting it since it looks like dirty cardboard (it seems durable, just very industrial-looking), and I didn't loke the primary colors of the other version. Overall, it's a great idea, but it would be nice if some of the slots were adjustable.

My son has a bunch of the lights and sounds puzzles as well as the chunky puzzles. First, you cannot fit the chunky puzzle in this storage device with the puzzle pieces in. The ones on the side obstruct your ability to put the puzzle in. Additionally, if you have the thicker lights and sounds puzzles, you can only fit them in every other slider, so you can only use about half the slots. It's good if you have the thin 9x12 puzzles. It would be better if you could pull out some of the wire slots.
