Perfect lap size

I use this to do my smaller coloring. It's nice and study and perfect size for my lap. I attach a small book light and it's perfect for coloring when I don't want to take up a lot of room in the dark. It fits in a book cover. Good purchase for me.

Works well as drawing board or for flexible workworking needs.

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2017

Size: 24-inch x 36-inch Hardboard PanelVerified Purchase

I use it as a drawing board as a grad student in an architecture program, as we do a lot of drawing. Also good for building models or furniture when you need wood or material to bend more-so than regular wood. I've also used another piece for a skateboard table I made with a "ramp" bottom.

For any reviewers that didn't realize it is flexible, despite the name, it is actually flexible by design.

Using as a drawer bottom

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2016

Size: 18-inch x 24-inch Hardboard PanelVerified Purchase

I bought this board (it is a single board - my cost at the time was about $15) about 9 months ago and today I finally got around to measuring, scoring, and cutting it for use as a drawer bottom on a 50+ year old 3-drawer pine dresser with one drawer bottom that had failed. I needed something thin enough to fit in the grooves but firm enough to support a little weight (drawer will generally be used for odds and ends). It took me a long time to find something to fit the bill and so far this looks like it will. The drawer has been reassembled with the cut board in place and the drawer joints have been secured with a little wood glue. The whole thing was then clamped for drying. Will see how it holds.

Edit 12/25/16 - Almost a year later and this has worked out beautifully so far as a drawer bottom and has held up well.
Edit 1/15/18 - 2 years later and still going as a drawer bottom (with a good amount of stuff in the drawer)!!!

Too thin

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2022

Size: 11-inch x 14-inch Hardboard PanelVerified Purchase

I sometimes paint on a slant with the top of my board on top of a lift. With no mid support as you lean on it it gives way a bit. For that reason it did not suit me. But for laying it flat it's functional.

This is the Hardboard Panel You Really Need

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2018

Size: 18-inch x 24-inch Hardboard PanelVerified Purchase

When one usually thinks about a hardboard panel such as the one I purchased, one considers a nearly two-dimensional plane of compressed wood particles, but this product is so much more.

Even going beyond the fact it is three-dimensional with a thickness, this panel exceeds every expectation one would have for a piece of wood. It has a smooth side, and then the other side is lightly textured! Perfect for allowing Gorilla Tape to adhere without loosing its grip!

I am reminded of the famous words of this country's 19th President, Rutherford B. Hayes, who said, "An amazing invention - but who would ever want to use one?" This august, former leader was, of course referring to the telephone, but his sentiment is clearly applicable to a piece of manufacture wood-substitute made of compressed cellulose.

And to President Hayes' query, I rise up to say, "I wood."

(By the way, my panel arrived in a badly damaged shipping box, but this brave little hardboard panel came out unscathed and now serves me well.)

Perfect for Watercolor and Inktense!

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016

Size: 18-inch x 24-inch Hardboard PanelVerified Purchase

I got this board so that I can work on more than one painting at a time. My other board is one of those with a handle and clips, but it is also quite heavy, so I thought this might be a good fit. It's perfect! My medium is Inktense and I'm not shy about using water, so there's always a risk of warping the board. Not with this one. I've done two pictures using it and it's exactly what I needed. Also, watercolor tape (not the kind that needs to be wetted, the sticking kind) sticks well to this. I use thick watercolor paper, so I don't stretch it, but rather tape it all the way around the edges to the board. Even when I've really wetted the paper with a series of washes, the tape sticks to the board and the board takes the water. It's also considerably lighter than my other board.

for watercolour, makes stretching good paper easy; I have a few now for each painting

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021

Size: 11-inch x 14-inch Hardboard PanelVerified Purchase

Far more reliable (imo) and frugal compared to buying the arches watercolour blocks. I use regular masking tape after applying a wet wash to the trimmed paper, and dry naturally (no heat), and have come out with some great paintings with this board. Very happy! I might use them to mount a painting, too (with the glue stuff, not tape, of course). Easy to store flat on shelves; lovely! ♥️
