I also break them apart and pass them onto puzzle loving friends.
I’ve never seen a framed puzzle and if I did I would find it very strange!
Gosh you guys only do a puzzle once? I guess my family is odd but we have favorite puzzles we love to do. Some we have done 3 or 4 times!
Modpodge, that’s how you glue them together.
I guess I’m the weirdo who did glue a puzzle and doesn’t find it strange. And knows other people who have done it.
Breaking apart a puzzle is almost as much fun as putting one together.
A long time ago, I liked doing puzzles of the Chicago skyline. It was fun to find different views. One was a matching set of the same view (from Adler Planetarium) in both daytime and at night. Another was facing south from the top of the Hancock building at night. Another was the city from the lake. I did glue about 5 or 6 of them and put them into poster frames. Then I hung them in the guest room that I used as my office (remote employee). I called it the Skyline Room.
There are a few other puzzles that I’ve done more than once, mostly of places we’ve been but others that I just liked the scene. Those would sit out on the table for a couple of weeks then get broken up and put back in the box.
I did donate a number of puzzles in the box to Goodwill when we moved. The framed Chicago puzzles are now stored in our new garage. We have a lot less wall space now but otherwise might hang them for nostalgia and memories.
My kid’s pediatrician had a puzzle framed missing a piece and had that one piece framed on the side artistically. It was very tastefully done–babies was the photo, if I’m recalling correctly. We’ve done puzzles and then deconstructed and donated them. No one around here is much into puzzles now.
Around here,we call,that garage art. Hang those framed puzzles in your garage
Mostly we do puzzles and take them apart, give to good will; but some puzzles are collectibles - I have one it’s for Coca Cola, I feel like if I ever get around to it, I might frame that one!
@thumper1 - we would have already done that if all the garage walls were not covered by shelves and cabinets.
@BunsenBurner I have to get one of those puzzle mats! Leaving a puzzle in progress alone with cats is NOT a good idea. 
I tear it down almost immediately, and then donate. I always put a big rubber band around the box before I pass it on. It hurts to even think about what would happen if the box top came off somewhere along the line.
Does anyone have any particular brands they like?
If you want extremely beautiful puzzles (albeit expensive), you can’t beat this company that makes wooden puzzles with beautiful images and extremely charmingly shaped pieces.

They may be too easy for people who are serious about puzzles (I’m not at all).
My mother was a jigsaw puzzle fanatic and would only do wooden jigsaw puzzles. No cardboard for her! I liked to get her Wentworth puzzles. They were almost as good as the puzzles her grandmother made.
If you want extra security for the puzzle pieces, you could put them into a sealed ziplock bag or other pkastic bag that you tape or tie.
Expensive wooden puzzles? Here you go! https://www.stavepuzzles.com
Wow–over $3000 for some of their in stock puzzles!
@BunsenBurner do the puzzle mats work for larger puzzles or is there a size limit (dimensions or # pieces) you find are best served with them? Are they a pain to roll up when the puzzle is in the very early stages?
Wow, @doschicos, I thought the $70-$120 puzzles in my link were expensive!
For cardboard, Educa puzzles are great - heavy weight, fit together perfectly, barely any dust. The pieces feel nice in your hand, too.
Lately I’ve been working ColorLuxe (manufacturer Lafayette Puzzles), and also Buffalo’s Vivid Collection. DH got me this one for Christmas, which is a bit of a departure with the more subdued colors. I’m enjoying it, though.
