The Alvin cutting mat is awesome and works better than the other mats I have from different manufacturers. It does have a bit of a smell that can be overwhelming at first and takes a week or two to get rid of. Overall, I am pleased with the Alvin 4x8 foot mat and would absolutely recommend for large tables. Best price I found was through DEW Drafting Supplies.

Exactly what I needed. The grid and angle lines are very helpful. My studio has never looked better.

I love this mat, which is protecting a 4'x8' table in my sewing studio. The grid is great; would like to see the inch lines just a tad darker/thicker than they are. However, the odor is wreaking havoc with my asthma! It smells like a beauty salon on perm day, times 5! Any suggestions to help with that, or ideas on how long that odor will last? It is in a very large room but still chokes me. I think this will be an incredible asset to me if I survive the stench.

The product arrived sooner than estimated! The mat quickly laid flat after being rolled up for shipping. It is exactly as advertised and works very well! It is a great price for a mat that size. The only issue is that there is a small crack in one side - it looks like the shipper slammed the package down at some point. Maybe extra padding on the ends of the shipping box would help. There is a slight odor for a week if the mat is put in a small room - smells like new carpet in my opinion. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the product and the seller!
