Review on Aocoswei Self Healing Cutting Mat & Craft Knife Set: 9x12 Double-Sided 5-Ply Mats for Crafts, Art, Sewing, Scrapbooking & School Supplies in Green by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Heavy and heavy, wish there were lined dimensions on the sides

Love how strong and heavy this cutting mat feels. There's nothing far-fetched about it, and that's what I like best. What I don't like the most is that there is no ruler on the sides, top or bottom like my old worn out one. There are numbers around the edges, but I prefer the inch/centimeter markings, which are handy at a glance, which this one doesn't have. a backup if you don't already have one, or just one as a backup set. Although the mat is self-healing, a slightly raised ridge can still be felt on more than superficial cuts. My old rug is much larger, awkward to store and too big for my desk, while at 18" x 24" this one is much easier to leave on my desk or store if I want to. I would change the label, meaning I'll have to stop and try to figure out what's what in terms of measurement. I would prefer the numbers and lines to be bold and thin to represent inches and centimeters. I also like the mat for its density, weight and protection of my surface while cutting. Thank you for reading.
