Comments about Helix Metal Edge Drawing Boards:

I use this for drawing comics and sketching etc;
I do not need a drafting table, just take this light board prop it in may lap against the table a voila, any angle achieved, rotating paper against it easy, can quickly take the board with the drawing paper and sit on a couch when get bored sitting at a table (I usually cannot sit for more than an hour in a chair) and just move around wherever. Does not take up space, just slide it under the couch, behind the table. It is light and pretty sturdy. I used to use similar 100% wood board but those were like 10 kg heavy and just not movable; had them permanently placed against couple of thick books on table for a angle of about 50 degrees. But, with this Helix board you can do anything you want, anywhere.

These are especially good if you do not want to or cannot spend large sum of money for a drafting table (which takes space, remember that if you live in a big city with small apartments)...

I am not an artist, nor a draftsman, but I am a model railroader and bought this item to use as a work surface on which to build models and maintain equipment. I'll also be able to set my paint booth on it for spray painting models.
This board is perfect for my needs, it is solid, and durable and will protect my tabletop. I can also use it under my cutting board just in case of a slip of the knife or saw. The price was the best that I've seen and the size is perfect for my usage. A very good product. I'm well-pleased with it.
