5 Stars A Must for 2-1/2 Year Old
Perfect for a 2-1/2 year old boy who likes challenges. Melissa and Doug puzzles are very durable and of good quality. He started with the 12-piece puzzles and has a 48-piece waiting for him. It won’t be long before he’ll be ready.

4 Stars Good for a child 3+
Fun, durable puzzle. The pieces are a little hard to fit together for a child under three.

Fast shipping and durable as described but this puzzle was a tad bit bowed. Still works and the kids enjoy it.

I bought this puzzle for Christmas for my toddler. He loves it and also his big brother that is 4 years old, although it is already easy for him.

The product is made of solid wood and hand crafted.

5 Stars Love Melissa & Doug
We love Melissa and Doug puzzles. They are sturdy and last longer than other puzzles. I wish there was a picture for my son to go off of but he seems to be doing OK without it. Love the cute pirate theme!

5 Stars Great Puzzles
I love the wooden puzzles for my Grandson. He gets them together right away and does them over and over. Wonderful.

5 Stars Excellent puzzle
When i opened the box and saw this puzzle, i was so impressed with the quality and durability. The colors are vivid. the pieces are not tiny and thin, they are a good size and very thick, can take abuse. My step-grandson loved it. The best part, he can’t destroy it, he is very hard on his toys, but this will hold up. I would buy Melissa and Doug products again and i would recommend this product to anyone. Excellent puzzle and great price.

5 Stars beautifully engaging puzzle
I recently started purchasing puzzles for my 3 year old and found it difficult to find out that was both visually captivating and durable. My 3 year old daughter was drawn to puzzles that had the everyday cartoon characters and found great entertainment in putting them together. As soon as she saw this puzzle she was drawn in by the beautiful picture it displayed. The colors were vibrant and appealing to the eye. The only issue I had with it was that due to the fact that is was brand new it was difficult to take the puzzle pieces apart as they are wooden. Once you have unassembled it and used it frequently the pieces get easier to put together. The fact that it has a wooden frame to help hold the puzzle in place was a big plus for my daughter. I purchased quite a few of the Doug and Melissa puzzles and she was captured by the unconventional illustrations which she was not used to.

4 Stars Worth the money
This puzzle is well made and the graphics are just brilliant. My 3 year old grandson enjoyed the picture but did need assisstance to assemble.

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Wire Puzzle Rack

February 24th, 2010

Melissa and Doug Deluxe Wire Puzzle Rack




A puzzle rack to solve your storage puzzle! This sturdy wire puzzle rack holds up to 6 large and 6 small puzzles for convenient clean up and organization.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Fits M&D chunky puzzles!
I ordered this puzzle rack for our growing collection of Melissa and Doug puzzles, including several “chunky puzzles”, despite some reviews stating that the chunky puzzles would not fit. THEY DO FIT! Quite nicely, actually. We also have a small peg sound puzzle that fits in the top section, and one large peg shapes puzzle that fits, just barely, in the bottom section. It is the answer to my puzzle storage prayers!

5 Stars Melissa and Doug Wire Puzzle Rack
This puzzle rack works just as it should. It holds plenty of puzzles. The only problem is that is does not hold puzzles with raised pieces. No big deal, we had plenty of puzzles to fill it. A great way to organize a space.

5 Stars GREAT SOLUTION FOR GROWING PUZZLE LOVERS!
My son loves puzzles. As he grew we were having trouble keeping them in order. This offers the PERFECT solution. It holds his younger, easier puzzles (peg and 12 piece) as well and his more complext puzzles (24+ pieces). It’s very sturdy and even easy enough for my 3 year old to get the puzzles in and out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

4 Stars Pretty good for inexpensive rack
This works pretty well if you want an inexpensive rack. Not all the puzzles will fit perfectly, and I definitely have more puzzles than slots.. But I wasn’t willing to buy an expensive one like they have in day care – the big wooden ones work great because if pieces fall out they don’t fall down to the puzzle below or get stuck and they are generous height-wise for each puzzle. On this wire one, my daughter had trouble at first putting the puzzles back in, but eventually she mastered it. In the meantime, I just told her to put them on the floor and I’ll put them away later, as I find my set of puzzles work best in a particular order. I have some foam puzzles from the $1 rack at Target and I just shove them in on top of the chuncky puzzle with pegs because another wooden one doesn’t really fit on top of it.

In summary, you get what you pay for… if you want an inexpensive solution that isn’t perfect, you can try this and it may neaten up the area enough for you.

5 Stars Wire rack works great!
Loved the Melissa and Doug Wire Puzzle rack for the two different sized puzzles. I had several different brands of puzzles and it fit them all great! Solved my puzzle storing problem definitely! Great purchase for our home.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great Puzzles
I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old son. He had the other set of 4 puzzles and really liked them. I keep one of these sets out for him and the other goes in a travel toy bag. After completing the puzzles with help, he was able to figure them out on his own. Great price and quality.

4 Stars Durability and Fun
I have a 2.5 years old son who enjoys these puzzles. This is our second set of M&D Boxed Jigsaw. They are durable and fun. I first introduced them as they are completed. It took him less than 3 mins to complete for the first time and now he is even faster than I am :-) The point is that he keeps going back to these puzzles. Now it is a race agains time. Choose the theme your child would be most interested.

4 Stars My son loves it
My son loves the Melissa and Doug puzzles in a box. He also loves construction vehicles so this is his favorite! with only 12 pieces per puzzle, he gets the sense of accomplishment quickly and moves on to the next puzzle. He’s now 3 y/o but he’s had another puzzles in a box since he was 2 and loved it then.

5 Stars small but fun
I got this puzzle-in-box set and the Vehicles In a Box set, and my son likes them both. The construction vehicle pictures really delight him. He can work harder puzzles than these, but he enjoys these for those times when he wants less thinking and quick results.

Each of the completed puzzles measures only about 5X7 inches.

If you buy more than one of these boxed sets, here’s a heads-up. Each set uses the same four shapes, stamped in red, on the backs of the four puzzles. This makes sorting harder when two sets get mixed together. We added a black mark to the backs of one set to make it different.

Also, the two sets that I bought were cut identically, so that the pieces are interchangeable between puzzle sets. For example, both puzzles stamped with circles on the backs have the same exact shaped pieces.

5 Stars Great little puzzle pack!
4 little puzzles in one storage box. Each puzzle has a shape symbol on the back of each piece so the pieces don’t get mixed up. Colorful and easy. Great Melissa & Doug product!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Keeps little hands busy
Puzzle is of excellent quality, nice and chunky for little hands to manipulate with ease. The colors are very vivid. Just a great toy for your little one.

5 Stars Great!
This is an extremely durable puzzle with pieces that fit well, but not too tightly, into their places – providing an excellent challenge for my one-year-old.

4 Stars Great for 12 month old
This is great for a first puzzle. Between 11 and 12 months my daughter started becoming interested in putting items in boxes so I bought her some Melissa and Doug puzzles after doing my research (although some of these are made in china they undergo strict testing). The large wooden nobs are great for little fingers to grab and very durable.

5 Stars Great Puzzle
I got this puzzle for my 7-month old son. As soon as the wrapping paper was off on Christmas morning he was reaching for the knobs trying to pull the pieces out, he could barely wait for my husband to get the cellophane off so he could grab them. He loves to pick up the pieces out of the puzzle. He’s not old enough yet to put them back in, but they do slip into place easily for me.

5 Stars Knobby Puzzle
Thicker than most beginner puzzles. The large knobs are easy for little hands to grab, and make for a good teether toy. My older child likes this puzzle also. The three pieces have pictures in the “holes” so you can match the piece needed by color also.
