I bought this 18” x 36” cutting mat to use on my desk for writing, since my desk surface is not very smooth. Not only is this mat very smooth, but it is large enough to cover most of my desk for writing. Although I didn’t buy this cutting mat for its intended purpose, it will work perfectly for me. I highly recommend this mat to anybody who needs a smooth writing surface for their desk.

It is the perfect size for my table. It’s heavy so it lays nice and flat on my table. Really nice

I liked how this mat can take getting cut by an exacto knife and it will self heal. The mat looks great and covers a large work area. All of the measurements you may need are printed on the front and back.Well worth the money.

This is one of many ALVIN cutting mats that I have purchased of varying sizes. I have been very pleased with them. I use them as mouse pads, writing pads, and the most recent 18x36 as a desk pad. They are easy to clean and are durable.

The cutting mat from Alvin seems to be great. Perfect size for the area where I am using it. However, there is a strong chemical smell from the mat that is still there even several days after leaving it out on the workbench counter. Since it will be used in the garage, the odor can be tolerated ... but using this inside my home would not be very good. This is the only reason for the lack of 5 stars. Also, since I haven't truly used it yet, so I cannot attest to the durability - but it seems both thick enough and heavy enough for its purpose. Adhesion? this isn't some sort of tape, there isn't really any adhesion involved.Now, Amazon's packaging and shipping, however, are severely lacking. Granted, this is a large size (18x30") mat, but also fairly thin, and just in a soft plastic bag. Having the Amazon shipping department stuffing it into a box that was too small for the overall area dimensions forced the mat to be warped in the box. Even after several days of it lying on a flat surface, with weights on top of it, has failed to fully flatten it out. Shame on you, Amazon!!!

Compré esta tabla de corte para reemplanzar una más pequeña que tenía. Es tamaño es sensacional por el precio. Viene en pulgadas y centrímetros así que nadie se puede ofender.

This one-star rating might not be quite fair, as the Alvin Office Essentials Cutting Mat looks as though it would make a very serviceable place for cutting. I never got that far, however, because after having it in my hobby room for about 3 hours, I became aware of an ominous odor that had me searching the house and attic for the fire I was sure was burning somewhere in our insulation. I don't have a comparable odor to compare to the aroma of the gasses this thing emits, so I'll have to rely on my imagination to give you an idea of what you'll need to tolerate if you proceed with your purchase of the amazing Alvin mat. The closest thing I can imagine to this odor is as follows: Imagine a large (very large) plastic food storage bag. The bag is filled with dead cicadas, which have been thoroughly soaked in fingernail polish remover. After soaking and drying, the cicadas are sealed in the plastic bag and placed in the center of a smoldering campfire, where they proceed to roast slowly over a period of two to three days. That about covers it; smoke, charring chemicals, plus a nameless stench that's still somehow reminiscent of dead insects. I assumed that the stench would abate quickly if the mat was placed outside and exposed to the cool, dry winter air of our area. After nearly a month of basking in the great outdoors, this thing still stinks to exactly the same stomach-turning standard as it did when I removed it from the box. Perhaps the most impressive quality of what I will forever refer to as the "Alvin Stench" is its stealth capability. You don't notice its gagging aroma when you hold it at arm's length. Bring it to your nose, however, and you will wonder how you could have possibly missed anything that nauseating when you opened the plastic cover the thing came in. The truly incredible part is that the undetectable-at-arms-length stink still has the capacity to slowly inundate an entire room within two or three hours. Once the stench has conquered its home base (establishing a beachhead for future operations) it proceeds to expand its conquest cubic-foot by cubic-foot until the local residents are certain their roof in fully engulfed in flames. I don't know how big your house would need to be to provide a "safe room" where you could take a normal breath, but I know I'll never be able to afford such a residential shopping mall. Of course, you may be made of sterner stuff than I, so this mat might be a great choice for you. Hopefully, if you do buy it, you have a permanent olfactory disability, perhaps from a childhood injury? But as I said, its probably a perfectly fine mat for cutting things on.
