Puzzle board size guide › Ravensburger 2,000 piece

Which puzzle board fits a Ravensburger 2,000-piece puzzle?

Every Ravensburger 2,000-piece puzzle is cut to the same finished size: 98 x 75 cm, which is 38.5" x 29.5". Ravensburger lists that size on the product page and prints it on the box. It is the largest format the store stocks a board for, and the numbers below show exactly how much board you get around it.

The short answer

A Ravensburger 2,000-piece puzzle finishes at 38.5" x 29.5". The smallest Puzzledaddy board that fits it is the 2000pc board, with a 39.5" x 30.5" puzzling surface — 1.0" of clearance all the way round.

Why the 1500pc board is not enough here

The 1500pc board measures 36.25" x 29.25": it is 2.25" too short on the long side, and it is 0.25" too shallow for the 29.5" depth.

If you already own a 1500pc board, measure the box before you start — a puzzle in this format will sit over the edge. The full comparison is in the table below.

Ravensburger finished size used above: 38.5 x 29.5 inches (98 x 75 cm). Board surfaces and prices come from the same live product data checkout uses, so they cannot drift from what you pay.

What the dimensions do not tell you

  • Sorting space. A 2,000-piece build also needs somewhere to park sorted pieces. The 2000 board's extra inch all round is what makes that possible without stacking trays on the floor.
  • Raised borders. The surface listed above is the working area. The border that keeps pieces on the board adds 3/4" to the length and width of the board itself, so budget for that on the table — not for the puzzle.
  • Add-ons are size-matched. A storage tray, protective cover or rotating base is cut for the board size you pick, so order them together with the board.
  • Shipping. We build and ship within the United States only, and every board is made to order in our Idaho workshop. If you are outside the US, our Etsy shop is the better route.

Want an exact fit, or something bigger?

Two cases where we go off the stock sizes: if the board above leaves more spare room than you want, and if your puzzle is bigger than 2,000 pieces (3,000 and 5,000 piece puzzles vary far too much between brands to size a board from the piece count alone). Send us the finished size printed on your box and we will build a custom board cut to it — carved lids, engraving, spinners, sorting trays and covers, made to order in Idaho and shipped within the US. If you would rather just ask a question first, contact us.
