This was a Christmas gift to myself. I had a regular smaller glass mat. Decided if I’m going to upgrade to a glass magnetic mat it needs to cover my entire work space. At least 3/4 of the space.
I’M LOVING IT! The larger mat for me is better. No more pieces of paper, small tools, sequins escaping underneath. No more taping things in place to create. The Mini magnetic pawns that I got are strong and don’t take up all the space. Love the craft trays that came with mine. They are great for many things. Holding embellishments, cut outs, my ink blending brushes while working, and even my strips of paper backing I can toss away later.
I chose the Seaside Color due to my eyes. White seems to be a problem I struggle with when doing delicate items or lining up whites on whites and the black glass mats just seems to reflect the lights above very strongly and I can’t see anything I’m working with.
This color works perfect for me. Only had it set up over the last week so I cannot speak on being able to lightly cut with my X-Acto knife directly on the magnetic glass mat. Which, I may not do just because I want this to look nice for a very long time. Love the eas of cleaning up my inks/paints/pastes and other mixed media.
I am very pleased. Would recommend this size for large crafting tables. It is pricey but well worth every penny!
