This provides a fine surface to use with my rotary cutter, but I have only used it a few times and already there are several gouges in it. I guess I was expecting a little more "healing" from the "self-healing" cutting mat. Also I would say that I am disappointed in the thickness/clearness of the lines on the mat. I have a hard time seeing them through even a thin quilting cotton, and anything thicker and it is impossible. I bought this with the grid thinking it would help with laying things out and ensuring straight cuts. But the markings are hard to discern, which leaves me measuring, marking, and drawing lines still before I cut anything. Finally, as other reviewers have stated, this product gives off a very strong plastic smell that is pervasive and persistent. It smacked me in the face as soon as I opened the package and has continued even after three washes and sitting in my garage to air for a couple weeks. All in all I would not recommend this item to anyone, but it serves the purpose of saving my counters and cutting boards when I need to trim fabric, so I will not completely knock it.

Love Frontera sauces - can't get them in stores where I live so was thrilled to find them on Amazon. This one is my favorite of all the Frontera taco /skillet sauces. The instructions will say to add onion to the meat before you add the sauce, but my husband does not like onion and this is awesome all on its own.
