Excelsis Design, Pack of 15, Foam Boards (Acid-Free), 11x14 Inches (Many, 3/16 Inch Thick Mat, White with White Core (Foam Core Backing Boards, Double-Sided Sheet)

I've seen a number of bad reviews about this product, but mine just arrived quickly and in perfect condition, with nice plastic corner protectors that did their job. I think some of the reviewers are expecting more from this product than it's intended use. These are great 3/16" foam core mats, which were surprisingly hard to find--most sellers only offer 1/8" think for white and that is often not sturdy enough. Also, all of the white mats I ordered are 3/16" thick, which is what I wanted, so I don't know why the title of the product includes the word "Many" in it: "Excelsis Design, Pack of 15, Foam Boards (Acid-Free), 11x14 Inches (Many, 3/16 Inch Thick Mat, White . . " To the managers of the company, I suggest you delete this word in the description as it sounds like many but not all of the boards are 3/16". I almost didn't order because of this confusing wording, but I'm glad I did. Perhaps you meant, Fifteen 3/16" Thick Mats. But again, great product!

I liked the sturdiness. Using to wrap quilting fabric for organization. Several were very dirty. Cleaned best I could, still stained after all that would come off came off. Hopefully won't mess up my fabric over time. Some were not square, meaning measurements were off and didn't square up on ruler when cutting to size wanted. Since just using for fabric, measurement being off didn't matter for me. Excelsis was advised and they are looking into why they were so dirty, etc. Would have given a 5 if weren't so dirty. Need 5 more packs of 15 soon. Will still order from Excelsis, they seemed generally concerned about the quality of their product. Update on my review, Excelsis customer service is awesome. They gave me a refund for the portion of the boards that were a problem. I didn't even have to ask for anything and they advised they will check to see what caused the condition of the boards I received. I will definitely order the additional boards I need from them. Will give them a 5 star rating. Update: the second set of 5 pkgs of 15 I received, their were 11 boards that were a little dirty, No where near as dirty as the first set o bought. The problem with this set, the majority were very warped. The third set i just received a week ok, were great, no complaints. No dirty boards, not even the packaging was dirty like the previous two orders. I will still order more from them.

I have not used yet so have not checked to see if really square and accurately cut to size, but seem fine visually and nicely packaged to protect. Delivered very quickly. Assuming sized and cut right, would buy again, as precut saves a lot of time for me. I have had other vendors product come precut but not quite squared or accurate.

I mistakenly ordered this thinking it was canvas but misread the description so I was surprised when I received my order. Nevertheless, after realizing my mistake I went ahead with my plan and painted on the foam board and found that it isn't the best for paint. I did find that it goes well with colored pencils though! Still a good product even if it wasn't what I wanted.
