Bought my Fiskars 24" x 36" mat while we were still living in Wisconsin. Left there in 2001. Still using the mat & it's 2013 & w moves later. I am a heavy quilter, so it has gotten lots of use. Price was the determining factor over Olfa. At the time, the Fiskars was half the price of Olfa. I'd say I've gotten more than my money's worth! I do have several other, smaller Olfa mats - right down to the 5" x 7" one!
