The board is well made, though the edges could stand to be sanded. We work puzzles by forming the boarder first, then working sections outside the puzzle boarder on the perimeter of the table. This means we lift sections and place them inside the boarder. With this puzzle board, lifting and placing are difficult because the work surface is elevated. Also, the felt top of the board prevent puzzle pieces from sliding across the surface. I can see this board working better for Legos or some other activity. Didn't work for us. Still, well made.
