I don't know who likes this more, me or my wife. This pad collects all the little pieces of flash, feathers, hairs, fibers that usually end up getting brushed on to the floor. To clean up, you simply just fold it up like a taco and go dump it in the trash. The backing of this mat is pretty good at adhering to the desk and doesn't slip around. The top of the mat is great to collect trimmings and prevent tools, hooks, eyes, and beads from rolling around. A great investment for your desk.
