Excited with some disappointment

I just bought a table which was 60x48. I love my big desk. They don't make 60x48 rugs like that, at least I haven't found them. But I was happy with the shorter back mat as it stretched from one side of my desk to the other. Lo and behold, the carpet is 1/2 inch shorter on each side. I'm holding the rug but looking at the gaps on either side is driving me crazy. Maybe the company can send me the right size as they advertised.

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
  • For the old

Great rug with the smell of a skunk!

Great rug and I like the large size. It was rolled up and had to be placed in the sun in the driveway with weights on all four corners. Perfectly aligned. The biggest problem was that the carpet gave off a STRONG skunk smell. I washed the carpet twice with liquid detergent with lemon and warm water. This got rid of the strongest odor but it still needs to be laid out in our sunny room with the windows open to allow the rest of the odor to dissipate. I really like the mat but it won't come into…

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • Not sure

Deformed to the hundredth degree

I still haven't used the cutting mat because it was folded into three parts, causing it to be deformed. I assumed it would flatten out over time but it's been two weeks and the mat looks exactly as I rolled it out and I've laid it flat with one load but it still hasn't helped . I've heard a lot of good things about the board, but I can't even use it! So how do I know how Mat works? I hope to find an alternative to surface leveling because not being able to work on projects is frustrating. Pros:

Wrinkles won't come out - won't lay flat

The mat is fine, it was just rolled up to fit in the box and now I can't get it to lay flat. It still has wrinkles after trying different methods to remove them. Obviously I don't know how to accomplish this in a satisfactory way. It can be returned. Also, I didn't know it had a sticker on it stating that California was considering using chemicals that could cause cancer. Because I cut it into fabric for baby blankets it was sent back as I wouldn't take any chances. Thanks to another customer…

Pros
  • Cutting Mats
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Durable and has 2 work sides

I ordered this cutting mat because I know it will last me for many, many years. I ordered the exact same rug about 10 years ago and I still use it today. One of the advantages of this rug is that it is double sided. When the first side was badly worn all I had to do was turn it over and it was a brand new rug. The only reason I bought an extra mat is because I now have 2 cutting tables in my quilt shop. The carpet has an odor but it quickly disappeared. Other people have complained that the…

Pros
  • Sewing
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

The Alvin cutting mat is just what I needed!

The 40" x 60" Alvin Self-Healing Cutting Mat was just what I needed. I work in the archives department of a large company. I'm working on saving and saving the collection. I needed a large self-healing cutting mat to replace the corrugated cardboard I used to cover my desk. After buying a lot and reading a lot of reviews, I decided on this product. The next hurdle was finding a reliable retailer to buy it from. I placed my order in only one place only to receive NO RESPONSE within two weeks…

Pros
  • Quilting
Cons
  • No Instructions
