I bought this mat for phone repair and also as a compact station for small projects and tidying up. I love parts storage boxes and they are perfect for storing screws and small drill bits. The magnet section is good for small items that I always seem to knock off. The work surface is quite spacious and easy to grip. Small for real soldering. Turned a computer desk into a hobby bench. 2 magnetic trays. Pleasant on the touch surface. Easy to spot small screws. Overall I think it's good quality and I'm happy with my purchase.
