Melissa & Doug Puzzle Storage Rack - Wire Rack Holds 12 Puzzles

After reading the mixed reviews for this puzzle organizer, I decided to purchase it with the hopes that it would work out. I'm so glad that I did. I have several Melissa and Doug puzzles, but not enough to fill it up yet. I have one puzzle with chunky pieces and it fits fine, but I do have it on the second to the top level. The rest of my puzzles have small pegs, and they fit beautifully. The fat noise-making puzzles do not fit, but I just stacked them on top of the organizer, and I'm fine with that. I stacked the puzzles in the top sections, leaving space for other learning toys stacked below. My bookshelf looks much more organized, and I'm hoping that my son enjoys the easy access to finding his puzzles!

This was amazing. I used it for wooden puzzles with nobs and perfectly kept them off the floor and tucked away. It’s super good quality and you will not regret your purchase at all!! I love it so so much!!!

This puzzle storage rack is excellent. I just got it today, but am already loving the additional organization it provides. I currently have 7 puzzles in it, so it is not full. To address some questions and past reviewer complaints: 1) Yes, the picture now matches the product you get. 2) There are NO sharp edges or metal pieces, I think maybe that reviewer possibly got a bad one. I do not see how this would scratch up wood unless maybe you slide it back and forth a lot. The pieces of metal that touch the bottom surface are all rounded and smooth. 3) It DOES hold peg puzzles and the big knob puzzles. I am attaching photos. The M&D puzzles that have the small plastic knobs fit perfectly, and you do not need to skip any rows. The M&D puzzles that have the large wooden knobs (baby's first puzzles) also fit, but you need to leave at least one row above empty. I have have a M&D gear puzzle sitting on top of the rack and because the metal supports protrude just a bit, it doesn't slide off. I honestly do not understand some of the more negative reviews. I also think people saying the knob puzzles don't work are referring to the wooden ones, and are expecting to be able to use every rack. Pictures: I took a few from different angles and stacking the puzzles differently. The two puzzles on the bottom have the colored small plastic pegs. The next two up are the magnetic fishing and bug catching puzzles. Note that they can be stored with the fishing/bug catching magnetic pole resting on top, and can still be stacked without leaving a space in between. The next puzzle up is a M&D farm animal giant wooden knob puzzle, it's barn-shaped and still fits in the rack. You can fit another puzzle on top if you leave one rack open in between. If you look at one of the pics, you can see leaving a single rack open, the knobs just touch the bottom of the next puzzle. The next puzzle is a custom-made name puzzle. I just slid it into the rack sideways. Perfect The top puzzle in some of the pics is one of the M&D gear puzzles. These won't fit in the rack, but will sit perfectly on top without falling off.

I bought this for the Melissa & Doug sound puzzles but alas is does not fit those. I was so confused when I found this out. I thought I bought a knock off product but I guess it’s made for the thinner puzzles that don’t have sound. I only have one of those right now so it wasn’t the best use of my money but I imagine I’ll end up with more of those puzzles as my kids grow.

I see what people were talking about. This rack is not good for peg puzzles you can’t use every slot because it does not leave room for the pegs between each puzzle and forget the large knob ones entirely. It’s truly the perfect way to store puzzles but terrible execution especially when most of the puzzles we have are Melissa and Doug so you would think it would be suitable for them. I only recommend getting this if it’s like 50% off.

This is ** NOT ** a "received item... for giving a review" Review - I selected & purchased this product after much researching and reading reviews, when available, to find the "just right" one! I'm thankful to all those that take the time to write reviews, which have enabled me to learn more about the product/s so I may make a selection & order with "well informed" confidence. I try to "return the favor" by writing reviews too. Some items that I'm "overly thrilled" with will inspire me to write a very detailed review. This is one of those items... MY REVIEW: Very pleased with this product - received on time (or early). THANK YOU! Thankful to all those that wrote reviews - helped in my decision to order for not only this storage stand, but also as to which puzzles I wanted to order to ensure they'll fit this stand. For example, had originally thought to order the chunky puzzles and / or large knob puzzles. Instead, I opted to order Melissa & Doug "peg puzzles" (has smaller pegs) and they fit perfectly. NOTE: there are other puzzles that'll also fit, I've only mentioned these three "types" as they were the only ones I was contemplating for my toddler grandson, at this time. One little detail... I felt that my "Melissa & Doug" Puzzles were sliding in a little "too snug" and didn't want it to cause any undue wear along the sides of the puzzles. As an easy solution, I pulled ever so slightly upon both the left & right sides (simultaneously) on this Storage Case, with gentle pressure, just until it had widened it "just a bit more" to allow for no more rubbing on the sides of the puzzles. No problem, and really NOTHING to merit any form of concern. Only worthy of mentioning this easy solution, IF others also run into the same minor dilemma. As for those that stated a concern about there being no "bumper pads" on the bottom to help protect surfaces - I have no such concern. Have felt all over the bottom, especially the corners and am confident that it should not cause ANY type of marring upon my table top or shelving where I have it placed. IF you have any such worry, or want to give "extra careful" protection to your surface, I liked the suggestion another reviewer gave for such a concern. Use of any "non-slip shelf liner" or "Grip Easy Liner Non-Adhesive Shelf Liner", ought to be a safe and happy solution for you. Wow! You read my complete review? :D Please click "yes" or "no" button to vote as to how helpful you found my review. Welcome to add any comment, too. THANK YOU!

This puzzle rack is a total game-changer for keeping wooden puzzles organized. It keeps all the puzzles neatly in one place instead of scattered around the house. Kids can easily pick out the puzzle they want, which teaches them independence and organization. Plus, it saves parents the headache of hunting for missing pieces under the couch.

THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON PURCHASING THE 2011 VERSION OF THIS ITEM. IT HAS BEEN CHANGED BEFORE, SO IT MAY BE DIFFERENT NOW! THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE ITEM I PURCHASED FROM AMAZON IN 2011. This does not fit standard size puzzles well. We have one of the puzzles pictured, and it does not fit! From the picture you can see that it is a trapezoidal rack. The front end, where you insert the puzzle, is too wide. It is not until you have the puzzle about halfway back that it actually is resting on both sides. This makes it very easy to accidentally insert the puzzle on two different levels. The puzzles then slide around quite a bit, making it easy to try to pull one puzzle out and have 3 more come crashing down with it. We are returning this rack immediately. This is probably a flaw in the redesign. As you can tell, most of the negative reviews are from when it was redesigned without the pads. This should be listed as a new item on Amazon, because the reviews are very misleading. THIS IS A NEWER MODEL - NOT THE SAME AS THE ONE GETTING THE GOOD REVIEWS! We went to Target today and bought the Circo puzzle storage rack. It was $19.99, which is more expensive, but it comes with 4 puzzles. So, it's worth it overall. And the Circo rack has a nice tight fit to secure the puzzles, but not so tight that little hands can't get them out.

Muy buen producto, cumple con su función solo que no caben los rompecabezas de sonidos de la misma marca porque son un poco más anchos, pedí 1 y me mandaron 4 extras

Good sturdy material, however does NOT fit the puzzles that makes sounds and so on, e.g. their old mc Donald's, instrument puzzles and so on. Bit dumb considering it's their own product as well

Semble solide mais mesures inexactes. J ai du le retourner. mais soucis pour se faire rembourser les frais de port très élevés, 37€ de la France(Retour vers les États unis car pas d adresse français)

Useless and flimsy. I have 3 Melissa and Doug puzzles and 2 actually don't fit it.

This is great for keeping the puzzles in one place nice and tidy. Have not filled it fully yet.
