I am not a fan of the mousepad boards.  If you have them rolled up for a while, when you actually play with it, the edges will not stay flat.  Also, if you see people who have had these boards for a while, you can easily tell because the edges are frayed.  These boards do not stand the test of time as well as vinyl or leather boards.

Not worth the money! Even if it goes on sale at the $1.99 store…

I disagree with the other reviewers of this item. I have used one of these boards for nearly 10 years and it is still in great shape. It is not frayed and it does not crease like the vinyl boards. Plus, you can wash it in the washing-machine to clean it (a nice plus if, like me, you often have a beverage near the chess board).
