The BeadsmithThe Beadsmith Mini Bead Board - Grey Flocked, 4 Straight Channels, 5 Recessed Compartments, 7.75 x 11.25 inches, Design Boards for Creating Bracelets, Necklaces and Other Jewelry

Great product! More space than expected. Love that it comes with a cover so that unfinished projects won't become a mess when I take a beeak!

I had originally been using the Beadsmith sticky mat, but I got annoyed with having to constantly rinse the fuzz/dust off of it (and then having to wait for it to dry. It also didn't hold my wooden beads or skinny spacer beads well). This one caught my eye because it not only has measurements, but a lid (!) with compartments (!!!) so I can continue working on a particular bracelet without having to put away whatever beads I used if I need to pack up and finish it later. The lid stays on pretty well, I do wish it snapped on a little tighter, as I can see it becoming worn out and not staying with extended use later on, but I supposed I could put a rubber band around it if that happens. Overall, great product for the price and has several useful features in one

portable, usable and storage a plus

This is a really nice sized board for portability and gives you just enough space to have a few good projects setup on this board at once. I primarily use (as pictured) 6mm and 8mm sized beads which fit great in the grooves and still allow me to securely snap the cover on top for travel or safe keeping if need be which is a big plus. I did take 1 star off, simply for the fact that the item I did receive is definitely not the item pictured in the sales ad. I purchased for that specific layout, having the measurements in between bead grooves and have 4 large sections for beads instead of 4 small ones and a large center... can definitely make it awkward having all the tiny little sections, instead of the nicer large ones. But this is awesome for bracelets, and nice to finally have something to see color patterns and lengths straightforward in an easy little travel case. Sturdy, well made, and secure. It was a great buy and a useful tool!

I love this, works great to keep dropped beads and findings from falling away, also easy to save work in progress.

I wanted to start beading again but I didn't have much space to devote to it. I needed a try that was smaller than what I had used in the past. This product fit the bill! In addition to having an excellent layout for working on small projects, the clear top is a huge plus! It fits snugly while being easy to remove - without flipping the tray and sending beads flying! I may buy a couple more tray so I can store various projects and set them aside when needed.

I had a wood board before and found it to be too slippery. This tray is flocked and has a lid you can put on to protect your designs. It is a bit flimsy plastic, wish it was a bit studier, but over all I love it.

It's great for making multi strand bracelets.
