Hi do any of you have any idea where I can purchase a cheap jigsaw puzzle board from - I dont want the roll up type.

Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Vicky

I've wanted one of these for ages too but I've never seen them (or the roll up ones) for less than £19-£20 and they've been that price for years!! I'll be keeping an eagle eye on this thread

Argos have it for £19.99

They also have the roll up one for £14.99

Lx direct have it for £26 but if your a new customer there is normally a £15 discount

Or there is one here for £16.99

Plumpmouse. Just wanted to say thanks! Searched the discounts/codes thread and found one for a £13.50. So am expecting delivery tomorrow and the item itself now only costs me £16! Cheers again:beer: :T

Glad you found what you wanted

Hi plumpmouse - thanks for the info - I am currently looking at the LX direct one - but I am not sure what size jigsaw its for - so if anyone has the catalogue - please could they have a quick look as see if it mentions in the catalogue the size of the board - thanks

we always use a cork notice board usually a couple of £'s only and the bits don't slide around

Hi Tracy 1- thanks for the info - could I just ask - how do you store it though - cause the ones that they sell have fold out sides so that the jigsaw is fully covered and you can then just slide under the sofa.

Try Makro because I bought one there last year that takes a 1500 piece puzzle. It only cost me £7.XX plus VAT. It's one of the large flat ones that the top opens out on each side. Holds the puzzle perfectly and we store it, on edge, down the side of the wardrobe.

I've not actually noticed if they are selling them this year but its worth a try. Good Luck.

I bought one from a car boot sale for 50p in the summer, and have seen a few since, not much help really because most boot sales only operate in the summer. Perhaps church fairs and jumbles sales could be worth a try.
