Where to put your drink while doing a puzzle
Keep your drink on a separate, fully supported spot outside the puzzle, sorting area and the path of your hands.
Give the drink its own spot
Start with the puzzle board and every sorting tray in the positions you actually use. Sit down, reach for far pieces and open the drawers. The drink should stay outside those movements. If you must reach over a drink to get a piece, move the drink rather than relying on a holder.
Allow room for the whole holder
Steadi has a 5.2-inch footprint. That entire footprint needs level, stable support, with additional clearance from table edges, trays and your hand. Its wider base uses more tabletop than the drink alone. It does not create space on an already full table.
Keep puzzle and drink surfaces separate
Use clear tabletop beside a stationary board, or a stable side table within comfortable reach. Avoid resting the holder on loose pieces, raised board rims or soft piles of felt. Steadi helps resist tipping; it does not seal an open drink or form a waterproof barrier.
Before you rotate, tilt or pack away
Move the drink to a separate stable surface first. A board corner, moving drawer or rolling mat can reach farther than you expect. Check the drink’s position again after rearranging the workspace.
Choose a different answer when needed
If the tabletop has no clear supported area, a separate side table or a holder designed for that exact furniture may be more useful. A lid suited to the drink can reduce exposure, but no lid or stabilizer should be assumed leakproof without the maker’s specification.
