I don't dare store my mats under the couch for the simple reason that a dog would take it and chew it to pieces. I duct taped one to my Joann's cutting table on one of the drop down sides and I have a bigger one that I can put on the top of the table so I have extra space to cut if I want. Still trying to get my trailer set up, been to cold to go out to try to clean it. I am hoping the weather warms a little next week.
