Really disappointed by the crooked metal edges, really poorly installed. The metal edges are supposed to assure accuracy of straight lines when using T square, the ones I got accomplishthe opposite. I was recommended this board by my art teacher so I am really surprised.

Board is warped and metal doesn’t go to the edge so T-Square doesn’t ride on it’s surface.Not usable for anything requiring any level of precision and way overpriced for a low grade piece of plywood.

This company, whoever shipped it, sucks. They took WAY too long to ship it when I have Prime, then it takes 3 weeks to get to me, way past the delivery date.And the product itself? Feels cheap. Chintzy. And to top it all off, I pay extra for the metal-edged version and come to find out it's only on 2 sides.....the short sides! I'd return it, but I'm 6 miles from the post office. Will never order anything from Helix again. EVER. Awful company.Update: one year later, this what they look like.Absolute GARBAGE.

The first board I ordered was warped. I ordered another since I need this for an art class. The second one took 2 weeks to deliver and it has 2 very long surface imperfections that go almost all the way across the board- one is like a scratch and the other is raised. A cheap product, basically a sponge sandwiched between covers that are only a bit more sturdy than cardboard. There is no justification for the hefty price.

Be advised that this is essentially a sponge with a thin wooden veneer coating. It's not going to take a pounding at all or even a lot of pen pressure; and do NOT use a compass with it. The needle will pierce the veneer like a slice of American cheese. However, it's suitable for the light duty I'll be using it for...initial comic page bordering, but for serious drafting or drawing, I don't think it will last long. If you give the board a gentle squeeze, you can actually hear the foam creaking inside. Apply any kind of pen or pencil pressure to a single sheet of paper, and it will leave a permanent impression on the surface, if not puncture it. I would definitely go with a solid wood board or a melamine finished board for serious hardcore drafting or drawing.

Lovely lightweight drawing board--all that I had hoped! Seemingly well made, easy to carry despite my arthritis.

OK. Works for its intended purpose, and very lightweight.
