What Sizes and Formats Do Wooden Puzzle Tables Come In, and What Can Be Customised?

By Ninghai Bohong Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd.

Puzzle tables and boards are sized to the finished puzzle, with working room around it. Published finished sizes run from about 41 x 29 cm to 50 x 40 cm for 500 pieces, and from about 43 x 60 cm to 50 x 70 cm for 1,000 pieces. Puzzle sellers advise a surface of at least 61 x 91 cm for 1,000 pieces and at least 76 x 102 cm for 1,500 pieces and more. Piece count does not fix the size, because it varies by publisher, artwork and cut, so size the board to the largest puzzle your customers build.

This guide separates general market information from what Ninghai Bohong Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd. builds. The size figures below are market references from public sources; they are not Bohong specifications. Our own dimensions are set per order and sent with your quote.

What are the common puzzle sizes by piece count?

These are finished sizes and table-space advice published by three puzzle sellers, converted to centimetres and rounded. Real puzzles vary, so confirm against the puzzles your customers use.

Piece countFinished puzzle (approx.)Surface advice
500From 41 x 29 cm (16 x 11.5 in) to 50 x 40 cm (19.7 x 15.7 in)About 51 x 61 cm (20 x 24 in) for 300 to 500 pieces
1,000From 43 x 60 cm (17 x 23.5 in) to 50 x 70 cm (19.7 x 27.6 in); one publisher lists 51 x 69 cm (20 x 27 in)At least 61 x 91 cm (24 x 36 in)
1,500 to 2,000No finished size given in the sources we read; sizes vary by publisherAt least 76 x 102 cm (30 x 40 in)

Two things follow. First, 1,000 pieces is the common anchor for adult puzzle tables. Second, a listing should state the maximum piece count and the maximum puzzle dimension it is made for, not just the board size.

What formats do puzzle tables and boards come in?

FormatWhat it isBuyer considerations
Flat board on legsA table-height surface, with fixed or folding legsSimplest to ship and store; add a cover or soft top if you want pieces to stay put
Table with drawersSorting drawers under or beside the boardDrawer count and depth must suit the piece count; lids or covers keep work in progress together
Rotating boardThe surface turns on a base so the builder can reach every sideGood for large puzzles; check the base diameter against the board
Tilting or easel boardThe board tilts to a working angle, on a folding frameTakes less floor space; stability and the tilt range are the key checks
Portable board with coverA flat board that folds or rolls with a coverLower freight volume

Pick one format per product line. Mixing too many options makes a listing hard to explain.

What does Bohong build?

From the product pages on this site, our current formats are:

  • Wooden puzzle table, folding-leg model: a flat, table-height surface on folding legs, with a soft top on the model in our sample photos. See the wooden puzzle table.
  • Wooden puzzle table with six drawers: six drawers with covers, felt mats, removable wooden bars, magnetic closures and protective pads.
  • Rotating wooden puzzle board: a rotating base, a black felt surface and four coloured sorting trays.
  • Tilting wooden puzzle board easel: a solid wood board in a picture-frame style, tilting on a folding easel.

All four are in the Kids & Play range. We can discuss formats beyond the folding-leg model if you send a sketch or specification, and we confirm what we can build, and the MOQ, with your quote. Dimensions, wood species and surface material of each model are confirmed with your quote. For the other Kids & Play balance products, see the balance board vs balance beam guide.

What can be customised?

According to our product pages and OEM / ODM & custom page, these items are set per order:

  • Board size and thickness. Tell us the largest puzzle your customers build and we propose a board size.
  • Top surface colour
  • Logo engraved on the wood edge
  • Leg style and height
  • Carton and insert design with your artwork
  • Wood species, from pine, beech, poplar, paulownia, oak, maple, walnut, acacia, cedar, teak, sapele or bamboo; species and availability are confirmed per project
  • Finish: natural, stained or sprayed colour
  • Packing: brown, white or printed colour boxes, shrink wrap, bubble bags and foam inserts

Engraving is done in our own workshop on our own engraving machine. Lead times are usually about 7 days for a single unit or sample, and about 33 days for 2 to 1,000 units; larger orders are confirmed with your quote. Which options apply to the drawer, rotating and tilting models is confirmed with your quote.

What should an RFQ for a puzzle table include?

  1. Format (flat, drawers, rotating, tilting) and a reference photo or sketch.
  2. Maximum piece count and the largest finished puzzle size, in cm.
  3. Target board size or “propose a size”.
  4. Number of drawers or trays, if any, and what they should hold.
  5. Surface (felt, soft top, bare wood) and colour.
  6. Wood species and finish.
  7. Logo artwork (vector file if you have one) and where it goes.
  8. Carton type and your artwork.
  9. Quantity range and target market.
  10. Whether you plan to sell it as a toy. This matters for testing.

Puzzle tables to your size: Bohong makes puzzle tables to the buyer’s size. For orientation, tables on the market are typically at least 61 x 91 cm for 1,000-piece puzzles and at least 76 x 102 cm for 1,500 pieces and more; these are market figures, not Bohong specifications. Drawer count, felt colour and wood can be specified per order and are confirmed with your quote.

Does a puzzle table need EN 71 or CE?

It depends on how you place it on the market. The Toy Safety Directive defines a toy by its intended use by children under 14, so a puzzle board marketed to children may count as a toy, while one marketed to adults may not. We make no EN 71 or CE claim for our puzzle tables. If your market asks for specific tests, tell us when you enquire and we arrange them for your order. See our guide on EN 71 for wooden toys for what to ask.

How does a custom puzzle table order run?

Brief, quote, sample, production against the approved sample, inspection, packing and shipping from Ningbo port. Sample terms are confirmed with your quote, and we inspect against your approved sample and drawing before packing. See Packing & shipping.
