I bought this for a makeshift desk. I was skeptical it would hold up to the pressure I put on it (around 25-40 pounds), but having used it daily for the past couple of weeks, I'm very satisfied. I left the plastic wrapping on the wood for minor protection from the things I'm laying on it. There are no dents or chips or scrapes in the surface of the wood so far. I'd been looking at cutting boards for this purpose, but even just an 18" x 22" cutting board can run you over $100. I called hardware stores to cut wood for me. You'd be surprised at the fees they now charge. Then you have to sand and finish the wood yourself... This flat, light board has been perfect for a portable desk, though--at a fraction of the cost of any other options I could find.Simple things, like a board, are some of my favorites to buy. Rarely any unpleasant surprises. For the size of this board and the stability of the light wood, you almost can't find a better large, flat work surface for light to medium-pressure tasks.

Excellent drawing board. Very good surface, square sides for t-square. Lightweight.

I am really loathe to be openly critical because I know this is someone's livelihood. Unfortunately, in this case it is unavoidable. Art supplies are not cheap. This board was $60 and for that I expect something that will last for many years. But this isn't going to.I've been an artist for 40 years and this isn't the first drawing board I've owned but it is the most cheaply made. The last one I bought lasted over 20 years before I finally had to toss it. The metal edging was heavy enough that it did not bend if accidentally bumped on a corner or something. The wood veneer was also quite a bit thicker than this.Before I even had a chance to use this one, the wood started separating and peeling up. I debated whether to return it but since it was just the wood glue not holding and easily fixed, I decided to carefully glue the veneer back down with wood glue and clamp it. It is fine now so nothing lost. That said, the aluminum edging is barely thicker than aluminum foil and one tiny ding and it bent and won't lay down flat now. There are also a few dents and scuffs on the edges that were there when I got it.I probably should have returned it but I didn't want to wait a couple of weeks to get another one. I can't return it now, my own fault, and that's fine, but I wouldn't buy another one from this brand (Helix).No hard feelings towards the seller, but this product, IMO, isn't worth the $60.

After reading the reviews I was hesitant to purchase this board but it was the only one I could find so decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did because this is a nice little board. It's light enough I can carry it with one hand (I have arthritis!). It's completely straight and not warped at all like others have said.On the other hand, the surface is definitely imperfect. Don't expect to be able to tape a piece of drawing paper and get a clean, smooth application of your drawing media. I taped 2 pieces of newsprint paper to the board, and then taped my drawing paper on top of that. Eventually I will sand and poly the board to smooth it out, but this works for now. I considered applying a layer of vyco, but decided that would make the board heavier, especially if I wanted to do both sides.Bottom line: this board is worth it if you're willing to put in some extra effort to smooth the surface

Very high quality and lightweight. If you are a little careful these boards last forever. Get rid of your stupid warped foam core and get serious about your art tools.

Just what I needed to replace a makeshift. This drawing board has all of the qualities needed for every artist; no rolling ridges etc. It is very smooth which does not effect your rendering at all!

I picked this board up to replace a similar though slightly smaller board that needs to be retired after almost 8 years of heavy use. I was disappointed when I received the item to find that it is definitely inferior to my original board. The wood panels that make the outside surface of the board are so thin you can feel the cardboard structure that makes up the core. While not a deal breaker, I really wish I had gone with another similar product. This one will take a bit of work to get to a satisfactory state for my needs. Do not recommend.
