I have the same mat and I love mine too. I have one of those plastic 3 drawers storage unit on wheels that the mat fits perfectly on the top. I store fabric in the drawers and it rolls under my cutting table out of the way when not in use. When I am sewing I roll it out beside my chair where I am sewing and can turn and press or cut with out having to get up. So convenient. Also I have done alot of pressing on mine and it has not warped either. Now I have heard if you leave them in a car when it is hot out they can warp. The mat fits the top of that storage unit like it was made for it. I love my little set up. When piecing a quilt with hst or flying geese or something like that where you are doing alot of pressing and sewing this works great. I was going crazy getting up and down...up and down before I set this up. A cutting board that sharpens would be nice. My rotary cutter is about wore out.
