The sorters are made of plastic and shaped like puzzle pieces. They are packaged in a sturdy cardboard box that can be used to store them. Mine was fantastic, and I bought one for my mother as well.

I was concerned that this would be a waste of money, but they proved to be an excellent investment. The trays are the ideal size for easy sorting and are shallow enough that all of the pieces can be seen. The attached images show a 1000-piece puzzle that has been color-coded. While a lid would be nice, these trays stack easily into the box they came in for convenient storage. They stack very well, so I used to stack them all the time while working on the puzzle. br>br>The fact that they're in the shape of puzzle pieces adds to the cuteness factor. Without them, I think my puzzle would have been less fun.
This product was a waste of money for me. I didn't realize the trays were so small because there were no specs on the website. There are six trays, each of which can hold 1000 pieces, according to the packaging. Only by stacking the puzzle pieces four or five high on top of each other would this be possible, which would completely defeat the purpose. I ended up going to Walmart and purchasing three inexpensive cookie trays (each costing 88 cents), which worked out perfectly.
Prior to purchasing the Sort, I had I knew it wouldn't be as big as I'd like after reading the reviews, but it was the best I could find in my price range, so I decided to give it a try. It is something I truly enjoy and value. There are six trays in total, and while I believe one more would be beneficial, they are all functional. I've used these twice now, once for a 1000-piece puzzle and again for a 750-piece puzzle. I had already begun the 1000-piece project, but having different colors in each tray allowed me to work from one tray and not worry about running out of space for the remaining pieces. I was able to sort the pieces into each tray by shape by the time I got down to the last 100 or so pieces. br>br>For the 750-piece puzzle, I started with the trays, sorting all of the edge pieces into one tray and then the rest by color; you couldn't have a single layer, but the trays did contain all of the pieces and stacked when I wasn't working on the puzzle. I was able to get a lot of work done in each tray. br>br>The final reason I like these trays is that they stack on top of each other and can even be stored in the box with the pieces. I am the proud owner of a feline companion. The 1000-piece puzzle was half-completed when the cat jumped on the table and knocked it over one evening. For about three months, I was missing several pieces. It took me four days to find them all. That's when I decided to buy it. I strongly suggest these trays for this reason alone. br>br>The disadvantages are straightforward. They have the potential to be a little bit bigger. Also, while the puzzle shape is appealing, the small indents on the sides significantly reduce the amount of usable space. However, I haven't found anything else that works as well for me as these.
Puzzle sorters were something I was completely unaware of. When I couldn't find any small plastic boxes for a reasonable price, I had my husband get a piece of Masonite for me to use to build my puzzles on so that I could move them to another room. (I later discovered that mats are available!) I was sorting the puzzle pieces in various boxes of various sizes, but they didn't work well when I needed to move them to another room. So, after seeing this product on Amazon, I decided to give it a shot. These are made of a very strong plastic. 1000-piece puzzles are my specialty. Each of the six trays can hold the puzzle pieces. Two sets of these would be required for a puzzle with more pieces. The only change I would make is to increase the number of boxes to eight in order to better organize the colors. They stack well and all of the pieces fit back into the original box. They also fit together like a puzzle when they were placed next to each other. They come in a sturdy cardboard box that should last for quite some time if properly cared for. It's simple to clean up and store until I have more time to devote to it. I'm thinking about getting another set, but I don't think I'll need that many trays. This product comes highly recommended for keeping your puzzle project organized and making it simple to store when not in use.
They also have a pleasant appearance. br>br>However, I'm not sure who thought you could use these to make a 1000-piece puzzle out of them. I've attached a photo of the trays full of puzzle pieces stacked on top of each other, with at least half of the bag of puzzle pieces still unsorted. That doesn't even take into account the border pieces. br>br>To fit 1,000 pieces in each tray, there would have to be two or three layers deep. So why don't you just say it'll hold two thousand pieces? You can use each tray for as many pieces as you want if you just layer pieces in multiple layers that you can't see beneath. br>br>However, you'll need a lot more trays if you want to see all of the pieces. br>br>This should suffice for a 500-word essay. maximum number of pieces in the puzzle Some overlap is present. br>br>Nice trays, but they don't quite live up to the hype. You'll need to either purchase more trays or come up with a new solution.
This is a total game changer. I'm kicking myself for not purchasing these sooner. It's ideal for large puzzles with a lot of colors to sort. I used to do my puzzles at the dining room table, where I could spread out and have plenty of room, but lately I've been doing them at our media room coffee table while my husband plays video games and our boxers chew on their chew toys. I like that we can do our separate things in the same room rather than in different parts of the house. I was having trouble spreading out my 1000-piece puzzles on the coffee table, but that is no longer the case. Because they stack well, these trays are ideal for sorting, especially if you don't have much space. They're also puzzle-piece shaped, which I adore:.
