So, if you have the center area for putting the puzzle together in, where do the pieces go that you haven't used yet when you close it up?

You can't see them in the photo, but there are two separate panels (covered in the same fabric as the entire inside of the board) that are the exact same size as the 'wings' of the board. I work the puzzle in the center area, and organize the remaining pieces on these panels which sit atop the board's wings. When I need to close an incomplete puzzle, I slide the panels off the wings and onto the center area where they sit side by side. Then the wings close over the top and are secured with the velcro straps (the black bits in the picture, which ensure no little pieces sneak out when I stand it upright behind the couch). Hope this helps!

Both the Left and Right sides have a flap that can go over the unused pieces.

I have not used my set yet. I understand the puzzles pieces go in the 2 side parts that eventually sit on top of the assembled puzzle before you close it up.

I don't have my puzzleboard with me now, but there are two loose boards you can lay on the sides as you work and leave the spare pieces on. When you're done you put the two boards in the middle on top of each other and close the puzzleboard.

How about back in the box it came in... I think it's only meant to store the part of the puzzle that's been put together.

There is a tiny whole in the back top center. It took me a while to figure it out.

We only have one chunky puzzle & no, it doesn't fit. Might not be the case for other puzzles though...

Lol! U have 2 actually Push that circle part up in the middle. There's a video that shows u how, it's Really easy tho once u get it.

You are correct. There is a center split, of sorts. The fabric overlaps in the center with magnets that hold them together.

Sorry but that is the same question I asked. I did not get a diagram or instructions either and cannot really tell from the picture where all the pieces go. It says to refer to the diagram but there is not one included.

We just did a regular picture frame that was sized a little larger than the puzzle so we'd have a white border around it and used a bit of tape to hold it in place. I think we got the frame at Target. There's probably more professional ways to do it, but that was our quick fix.

It comes in a box and you put the puzzle together. It's a well-done puzzle and worth the money if you like jigsaw puzzles.

I think it's only shipped in two parts. You'll eventually join the two and then mount the entire puzzle as one.

I have found the side boards won't hold 500 pieces each. Even with this I really like the PortaPuzzle because I can put the puzzle away when not able to work on it. I'm very happy with my purchase.

You can use the same cube. : ). When it is close to finishing one section, I move it to the next part. By experimenting on the position, I can do three rooms with two moves.

Randomly cut. I had one that came with a missing piece and they sent a new puzzle. When I found the piece to complete the one I had it was not the same cut.

It depends on the shape you are interested in and if you want to include covers or not. Not including covers would allow duplicate pieces to stack within each other (though I think only the mid-size rectangles have duplicates).

The legs have to fold in first then it folds in half. Good luck with thus puzzle. Once you get it you won't forget again!

Yes, and there are numbers and arrows to show where all the pieces should go. Fun to put together and nice looking, but way too easy if you are a fan of puzzles.

I think they were on the box?...just figure out...the grooved pieces go to the back to hold the back board. The top and bottom are bigger and the sides easy to figure...use the groove for your guide to figure out the rear of the cube...the Middle piece will not have a groove in it if I remember correctly?

I was flipping a puzzle with small pieces, so they were fit together pretty tightly. Also, the puzzle itself wasn't too big, so I was able to support the whole thing and it wasn't like the edges were pulling down. I slid the puzzle off onto a piece of cardboard (I think a broken down cereal box), said a little prayer, and flipped onto a flat surface. You'd be surprised how well the pieces actually stay together. Good luck!
