I have a wooden Melissa & Doug puzzle rack and I needed another one.  I decided to save money by getting the metal rack instead.  I was very disappointed when it arrived and it doesn't hold my puzzles well.  The rack is too wide for our wooden puzzles to stay on the "shelves" properly.  One side of the puzzle will fall down to the shelf below, and none of my children were able to get the puzzles on the shelves themselves.

It was very frustrating, and disappointing, as I've grown to love Melissa & Doug products.  I was ready to send it back when I decided to try to squeeze the front edges inward to see if the puzzles would stay on better if the front edge weren't so wide.  It has worked, though I think I'll probably have to do it again from time to time.

My solution will work, but I do not really recommend this product.  Save yourself some frustration and buy the wooden rack instead! The wooden rack has been problem-free for us for well over 5 years.
