I have a "June Taylor that I bought at Walmart that I have been using for eight years, have heat warped it a couple times, (When it gets warped, I just use my blow dryer to heat it up, then stack heavy books or magazines on it until it cools and it is flat again). It is still like new. I know that it was the least expensive way to get a 24"x24" cutting mat at the time I bought it. I like that it has a molded in handle for hanging it out of the way. When I bought it, I planned to get a better one when I had the money, but never saw any reason to buy another.
