Handcrafted Jigsaw Puzzles, Delivered to Your Door

Our wooden jigsaw puzzles aren't mass-produced. There are no lasers or factory machinery involved. Each one is cut by hand; truly handcrafted and one of a kind. Our rental program is perfect for adults looking for a tactile, screen-free hobby that lets them slow down and reconnect. Choose any puzzle from our rental library and enjoy it with friends, family, or by yourself for a month.

300+ Puzzles without the clutter

With over 300 handcut wooden jigsaw puzzles in our rental library and more added every month, there’s always something new to look forward to. We have fine art puzzles, cat puzzles, folk art puzzles, and many more. Our rental puzzles range from 300 pieces to over 800 pieces so you can always find something that’s just right. Renting an Elms puzzle gives you an endless variety of handcrafted wooden jigsaw puzzles without cluttering your closets or shelves.

A Screen-Free Way to Slow Down

We all want to be spending less time in front of screens; and a wooden jigsaw puzzle provides a truly luxurious relief from the digital world. There's something about sorting the pieces, the organic feel of the wood, and focusing on solving a tactile challenge that a phone screen can never replicate. It's a small, repeatable ritual that helps you disconnect from your devices and reconnect with yourself and the people around you.

Decades of Craftsmanship

We've been crafting and renting puzzles for almost 40 years, and in that time we've built a reputation for some of the highest quality wooden jigsaw puzzles in the world. And we’ve been honored to be featured by The New York Times, New York Magazine, CNN, and more. Every puzzle we send out is an heirloom — the kind of quality that's meant to be cherished, admired, and passed along. That's the whole idea behind renting: giving puzzlers and their families the luxury of a vast collection of handcrafted heirlooms.

FAQs

What happens if I lose a piece or damage a puzzle?

Sometimes a piece goes missing, a beverage is spilled on a puzzle, or a furry family member tries to “help” with the puzzling. Also, depending on temperature and humidity, handling by the shipping company and multiple people assembling the puzzle, it is possible that pieces may begin to have paper lift, plies of the wood may begin to separate or small pieces may break off.

If damage is minor (one piece lost/damaged, paper lift, ply separation), please note the issue when you return the puzzle to us. We also ask that you segregate the damaged pieces(s) following these instructions so that we can send the puzzle for TLC before we offer it for another person to rent.

What if I can’t find my return label?

Contact us at hello@elmspuzzles.com and we will email you a pre-paid return label.

Why are rentals a 4 week minimum?

We rent puzzles for a minimum of 4 weeks. If you need more than 4 weeks, rentals will auto-renew in weekly increments until the puzzle is returned. The weekly renewal rate is 1/4 the initial rental rate.

When does the rental period begin?

Your rental period begins when you receive your puzzle. The puzzle will be due back 4 weeks from when the shipping carrier marks the puzzle as having been delivered.

To avoid renewal charges, when are puzzles considered "returned"?

Puzzles are considered conditionally returned when you drop off the puzzle to be returned and the shipping carrier scans the return label. You will not be charged for renewing your rental so long as you drop off the puzzle to be shipped back before your rental expires. If you have questions or believed you were charged after you dropped off the package, but before it was checked in by the shipping carrier, please email us and we'd be happy to figure it out. 

What happens if I am late returning a puzzle?

If you want to keep a puzzle beyond the initial rental period, you may do so.  We will automatically charge your account for the extension of the rental time until the puzzle is returned. 

If your payment method gets automatically charged for a renewal and you believe it has been in error, please let us know and we'd be happy to investigate further. 

How many times can I extend a puzzle rental?

You may extend your rental for up to 6 renewal periods. Renewal charges will be automatically applied to your account until the puzzle is returned. After 6 renewals, we consider the rental puzzle sold and will charge your payment method the retail price of the puzzle. 

Can I buy a rental puzzle rather than return it?

Instead of renting a puzzle from the Rental Puzzle Library, you may choose to purchase it at its “retired puzzle” price. If you decide you’d like to purchase a puzzle that you currently have on rent, please send an email to hello@elmspuzzles.com, and we will assist you with the purchase.

If I rent multiple puzzles, can they be shipped separately?

If you’d like to rent multiple puzzles at one time and have them shipped to you separately (including separate pre-paid return labels), we ask that you purchase each rental as a separate sales transaction.

Can I have rental puzzles shipped to me at an alternate address?

You may enter an alternate shipping address in checkout for rental puzzle delivery. We will ship the puzzle to the address that you indicate at the time of your rental request.
