I use it for taping down watercolor paper so it will not buckle and it is handy for taking my work with me. It is the ideal size and weight.

Perfect drawing board for art students, and the board is hard not thin.

It came faster than expected from the US... and it was in perfect condition. Made of real masonite.

Nice weight board for sketching, painting or even as a temporary lap table for poly clay work. I like a large surface and this board with its sturdy clamps at one end fulfilled every requirement I had. Arrived super fast too, far faster than I’d thought. Not a fan of the rubber band that’s supposed to be used opposite the clips but that’s easily fixed. Really like this!

The item itself was great! I purchased it for an art class, the price was right, and it was sturdy enough to take around and do my work. The major complaint was with the packaging, which damaged the board a bit. Luckily I do wood work and had the proper equipment to mend and strengthen it. The box was literally 16" longer than the board and it was 8 inches wider than the board. The box was damaged when it arrived and there was absolutely no packing material inside - just the board. Given the fact that the box was completely oversized I sort of figure the board was going to be banged up, I imagine it sliding around all over inside the box during transit. The product was great- shipping was done poorly, resulting in a damaged item. I would have sent it back if my Art class was not starting so soon.

Poor quality, too thin. Have to be very careful while using. A3 size paper is not fitted as the cut in board is wrongly placed.

I like the board. Perfect size for my needs BUT...sure wish I had chosen one without a clamp. This clamp is useless. Breaks my fingers to open and then doesn't hold worth a boo. Maybe I got the only one with bummer clip but still like the board so I'm keeping it and will get a clip at hardware store just like I had way back ...in the land Before time of my art school days.

I bought a drawing board from a local art supply shop for around $8; I went to a number of places and it was the only one I could find. They appparently have them at some Michaels, but I've heard theyre worse than the one I found. I knew it would be a temporary fix and planned to order a better one on Amazon.This board here is 100% better. It is extra firm masonite (nearly twice as thick as my other board) and doesn't have very much wobble to it at all. The clips are high quality with two springs on each (my other board has much smaller, single spring clips)My only complaints are this:The handle on mine is cut out a bit too far down- it makes holding the handle akward after long peroids of timeThe clips, while overall good and are exactly the kind of clips you'd expect, are not as tall as the clips on my other board. I could clip my drawign pad onto it and walk around without any worry of the pad slipping down. On this board, the pad slides out rather easily because the clips hit the wire binding instead of the pages.Which is no biggie. I can imagine that these slimmer clips would be better at some times. Like I said the clips are overall very strong, just not very tall. (they open up all of the way but at rest on the board there is only a very small gap between the top of the clip and the board)With all of that said, I still rate a 5/5 because it really is the best board I've found.

I ordered this sketch board to work in watercolors. I ordered the larger size because I wanted it specifically for watercolors. The board also comes in smaller sizes which are great for "in the field" sketching. I was really impressed with the strength and quality of the board. It fully supports your work, with no "give" to the board. It is very sturdy. The clamps hold your work firmly and you do not have to worry about the paper moving around on you. The price was exceptional and you get a board with features that should (and in other places would) cost a great deal more. The very best combination of price and quality. You actually get more than you pay for.

If you're looking for a portable sketch board, this is an absolute bargain!Here's the benefits:1) Light weight and very comfortable.2) Fits nicely on one's lap.3) Easy to carry -- comes with built-in carrying handle.4) Smooth drawing surface, which works great for drawing and texturing.What I like the most about this board is that it gives you the flexibility of drawing whenever you want, whether it's indoors (on a comfortable sofa) or outdoors (by a beautiful, scenic lake).
