I just threw away $80 on a board game insert that didn't fit
I bought a fancy wooden insert for my copy of 'Gloomhaven' online, thinking it would save me setup time. The thing arrived and the slots were cut wrong, so the miniatures wouldn't sit in their trays at all. Has anyone else had a bad experience with third party inserts, and how do you check they'll work before buying?

You said the slots were cut wrong. That's a quality control problem, not a research problem. I always check the manufacturer's own photos against the game box dimensions now. A lot of them use renders, not real photos. If there aren't clear pictures from a real buyer in the reviews, I just don't buy it. It's a gamble every time.

Yeah, that's a solid point from @dakotacraig about checking real photos. I've started looking for video reviews just to see someone actually putting a game box in the slot.
