>>9361403>Cutting mats are pointlessCutting mats protect your desk from whatever you're doing on top of it. That includes spills, cuts, dropped tools, brushes etc etc. Refinishing the desktop is a pain even if it's not fine furniture. Replacing a mat is easier (although I still haven't replace mine).
Buying a cutting mat by DSPIAE(TM) is pointless, that I agree with.
