I love mine!! I use it on the island in the kitchen, perfect fit!! If you have a place that it will fit, you will love it too :!:
I really use my small rotating mat too, a bit pricey, but I really like it for squaring up blocks, or doing stuff right by my machine.

Any pointers regarding them? Or should I come to my senses and return it?

I have the 18"x24" and I'm always wishing I had a bigger one.

I think I have every size cutting mat, but I only use my large one. I will take a smaller one to workshops, but the bigger one is the best.

I really like the big mat. If you order online at JoAnn's.com....you can use the box it came in to store it. I have mine in the original box standing behind my bedroom door and it is in perfect shape after a couple of years.

I have the big one - I like it but its just a tad bigger than my table (I have table that flips down on side with drawers. Bought table treally cheap - 30 dollars.) My husband had built me a table top height one table but it didnt have drawers. Wish I would have kept it instead of giving to my daughter lol. The other table I have to stand to cut. Thinking about just trimming a hair off both end. Its too long widthwise.

if my cutting table was 36x60 I'd for sure have one, mine is 24x36, covers the cutting surface perfectly, I love it!

I would love to have that large of mat and going to save up for one because my mat has had a lot of use and showing it.

If I had the space i would get one. right now my big mat is 24x36. It fits nicely on my folding table(24x48).

The bigger the better I think.

You can store it easy. Hang it in the closet using the skirt/pants clip hanger.
