I purchased the lg and small version of this item. Unfortunately this is a poorly constructed item. The small version functions better, the large version warped within a week of receiving the item. I would recommend anyone interested to just buy a regular close up pad.

When I first saw this, I thought it was extremely clever.....and it is. It does and acts as it should. The major problem is that the mat is cheaply glued to the folding box. This wouldn't be an issue if the center of the mat wasn't also doubling as the hinge. I'm able to secure the outside and make adjustments to make this work. But for those who are less inclined to make the needed adjustments to even attempt to make this a more dependable prob will quickly find out that this is not something you would throw into your close up bag and expect it to last through wear and tear. I would hope to see an improvement in design. Maybe then, I would consider purchasing the larger one. But for now, I'm only left thinking I'd be better off building one myself. Buyer beware.
