Any pointers regarding them? Or should I come to my senses and return it?

I have one that is reasonably large (for me) and then have several smaller sizes as well. I have taken skirt hangers and have put fabric between the mat and the hanging part and have hung them up in the back wall of my closet – haven’t had any problems and they are out of the way when company/family comes over. This seems to work for me

Yes! Big mats are absolutely great for me. Especially if I have a group of people working at the same table. Also for stretching out a large piece of material. Also, for pinning a quilt sandwich. As long as it's self healing - the bigger the better for me.
