Saunders 05607 Recycled Hardboard Sketchboard - Brown, 23 in. x 26 in. Clipboard with Built-in Handle - Solid Drawing Board for Artists, Students, and Creatives

Very high quality! Has survived being stepped on, rickety buses and the grueling hours of art school.

This is an excellent board for commuter drawing, etc. My only reservation concerns the very young & seniors. I bought it for a senior artist who likes to draw in his lap & during commutes. I do wish the board was sturdier (thicker) & that the clips were not so tight. I think he will eventually break the board by accident, & meanwhile, he cannot manage the clips, so he has ripped several pictures. As long as I am there to help him, it is ok. Otherwisew, for the average person, I think these are very handy & am excellent size & price. ps(the actual color is "manilla", & I like that better than the advertised brown).

Great quality. The board is sturdy and smooth. It's more than strong enough for sketching/painting work. It's really light weight since it is made of recycled cardboard which makes it easy to transport. The clips are a good strength so a piece of cardboard between your paper and the clip is a good idea to prevent any dents. I bought this to hold my coloring books in other places than at my desk. Works great if you want to color in front of the TV, etc. I think it is good quality for the price, most cheaper boards are too flimsy and too small.

It's not too wobbly or flimsy, fits on my desk well, tucks behind the desk well too when I'm not using it. Love the position of the clips. The rubber band is removable which is awesome, since I hardly use that part. But its there if I need it!

I had a specific application where I use an 11x17 sheet that I have customized - and this works great - paper stays in place - is strong enough and stable enough etc. Not a super thick board but it holds up and is not heavy - clips are good. Handle is useful and allows me to hang it on wall when not in use so it doesn't take up a lot of shelf or desk space .
