Boards look sturdy for my needs. I have yet to have a need to use them. I dont need $300+ boards for the off roading I do. These will work just fine. And if they break I can get new ones.With that said there are no instructions on the best way to mount them. The hardware that comes with is mostly plastic and I wouldn't trust it long term. I rigged up my own mounting.If you dont mount them the bag they come in comes in handy and can be used as a mat if needed. It is not heavy duty though.5 star rating is based on price, looks and value. Have not tested product for durability.
