Do the side boards hold 500 pieces each before one starts to build the puzzle on the main board?

No the side boards will not hold 500 pieces each, however, it is possible to have most of the pieces of the puzzle sitting out because when you start to build the puzzle the space on main board is available. I am very happy that I purchased the PortaPuzzle and have traveled with it several times. Another tip for everyone as I found that the pieces slide when it's closed and has been carried - I put a piece of Rubbermaid shelf liner on top of the main board to make it a tighter fit and this works to keep all the pieces exactly where you put them. Hope this helps.

I have not paid attention to how many pieces I put on the side boards at a time, however each side board is about half the size of the main board and should easily fit 500 pieces. I have not had any problems with running out of room while sorting or putting together any puzzles. So far since receiving the porta puzzle I have completed 7 puzzles. In short, although I have not directly counted yes they should fit 500 on each side.

My guess would be yes, pretty close to it... The corners of each piece is rounded, with a finished edge, so ... I can't be certain, but I would believe it to be pretty close...

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.

Varies from under 100 to over 300. Depends upon the puzzle. Great edition, you will definitely enjoy doing these puzzles.

I don't know how to answer your question about how many pieces of cardboard because I don't know the size of the cardboard, but I can tell you that the table we used to work on the puzzle is 3ft by 5ft, and it didn't have enough room for the entire HALF we were building. It was close, but part of the puzzle had to be done on the counter. Again, this is only HALF of the puzzle, so around 4500 pieces. I hope this is helpful.

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.

I bought this quite a while ago. I think it had 20 pieces. I know it had plenty enough to connect 4 play sets together with parts to spare.

I did not count the pieces and have combined it with some sets we already had on hand but I imagine the count is pretty accurate although you need to understand that some of those pieces are very small spacers instead of connecting pieces.

Yes ~ there are a few larger spaces on bottom for bigger puzzles. The top ones are fairly narrow.

No, each puzzle is approximately 5in x 7in. They were a lot smaller than I expected, but my son loves them anyway.

You determine the number of pieces which dictates the difficulty of the puzzle.

I built the 18,000 piece puzzle and had to use my ping pong table. That held all of the pieces for that part and the puzzle. Just to do 1/4 of it at a time. Then I slid it to another table that was 36" by 60". So if you have a sheet of plywood 4'x8'. That will give enough room to build it with the pieces all right there. Have fun. I did.

Do u mean the magnetic boards u put the shapes on? If so, there is a more challenging puzzle on the other side.I purchased this last year as a gift and don't have it in front of me. The family I gave it to loved it for their child.

I have some generic wooden puzzles that fit in there. Just depends on the length of the puzzle.

They are just a little bit bigger than the other pieces but just because they are squares.. maybe enough to hold 3 to 4 pieces

I believe there are 50 puzzles. Each puzzle can be done in different variations, like different puzzle sizes, different puzzle piece shapes, etc.

The pieces are stored inside the board. There is a spot specific to each piece in a plastic sythetic-felt covered mold which stays in the board. I bought it for my 3 year old (and myself) and we haven't had any problems yet i.e. with the mold popping out or crumbling due to the unbridled strength of a three year old. Personally I love the board and pieces. I believe it will continue to see lots of action for many years to come.

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