This is a great close-up mat! It has plenty of cushion for card and coin work. The top surface is
smooth, and the bottom is rubber to keep the mat from sliding. Penguin shipped it to flat (as
opposed to rolling it up in a tube), and this meant it arrived without any curves or creases to sort
out. They even sent me a video showing them preparing my order for shipment! Penguin has set the bar
high for all their competition. I’ve been a pro since 1990, and Penguin has earned my business.
