Inspired by my great grandfather's love for puzzles, the Walley Puzzle Table was designed with avid puzzlers in mind, focusing on an older demographic and aiming to accommodate as many functions as possible within a compact piece. The undulating table top serves many purposes: expanding to create a larger work surface and folding for use as a normal table, holding the sorting trays, and allowing storage of a puzzle without complete disassembly. The table provides expandable surfaces for organization and sorting of pieces, the ability to display the puzzle box easily while working, as well as ample storage within. The convenience and playfulness of this design is meant to inspire users and foster a greater appreciation for puzzles as a hobby.
