16.9 in x 12 in Extra-Large Puzzle Sorting Trays 6 Pack - Stackable

In this review of the 16.9 in x 12 in Extra-Large Puzzle Sorting Trays 6 Pack, the bottom line is simple: these trays are built for serious puzzlers who need roomy, stackable organization without taking over a table. The reviewer found the trays most useful for large puzzles and multi-thousand-piece projects because each tray is large enough to spread pieces and the six-color system makes sorting by color or shape straightforward. The review focuses on real use, materials, stacking stability and how the trays perform across long sorting sessions.

Key Features

• Large capacity: Each 16.9 in x 12.0 in tray gives plenty of surface area to sort pieces for 1000-piece sections or to separate up to 180 pieces laid flat.
• High overall capacity: The six-tray set handles sorting needs across projects up to a combined capacity of roughly 5000 pieces, useful for multi-thousand-piece puzzles.
• Stackable design: Trays interlock and stack with a 1.69 in thickness per tray to save table space and reduce the chance of tipping or scattering pieces.
• Color-coded sorting: Six different colors let you separate by color or shape quickly, speeding up assembly and keeping pieces organized.
• Safer materials: Trays are made from wheat straw and PP, providing a firmer, non-toxic option that also reduces reliance on virgin plastic.
• Included protection: The set comes with a cotton bag for bump protection and easier transport of a stacked set between rooms.

Who It's For

This set is aimed at hobbyists working on large puzzles, families who regularly tackle 1000-piece puzzles, and anyone who needs a compact way to sort thousands of pieces without losing workspace. The trays work well for solo puzzlers or small groups who want to keep colors and edge pieces separated during long sessions.

Those who should look elsewhere include puzzlers who only do small 100-300 piece puzzles and want ultra-lightweight single trays, or people who need rigid, heavy-duty sorting bins for professional exhibition use - the trays are sturdy but intended for hobby organization rather than industrial handling.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Roomy 16.9 in x 12.0 in surface gives ample sorting space per tray.
• Stackable interlocking design saves table space and reduces tipping.
• Six-color system and included cotton bag make organizing and transporting easy.

Cons

• Because trays are relatively thin at 1.69 in, very deep sorting stacks require more careful balancing.
• Not ideal for users who only need one small tray or prefer rigid heavy industrial bins.
