Functional and well-designed, even for larger puzzles. The image, as many others have noted is entirely misleading. Only the edges are wooden; the remainder of the construction is just fibreboard and mine has a number of nail holes along the middle (see photo - note that the table it's sitting on is the only 'wooden' product here. The little drawers are what really saves this and makes it a very useful product, but I'm very glad I didn't get the full coffee table version because it's so cheaply manufactured.
