This is a great illustration board; the only problem is I just wish it was a little thicker.

Rated by: Sandy N. in Vaughn, WA

This board can't be beat for heavy collage and it arrived in excellent condition--all corners were unwrinkled.

Rated by: Terri M. in Cincinnati, OH

I bought the 201 Hotpress for a mat, of sorts, for an art class, and it was great. It is just kind of hard to cut with an xacto or utility knife.

Rated by: Luis P. in Calexico , CA

Excellent product at wonderfull price.

Rated by: Ingrid C. in Irmo, SC

Excellent quality for the price. Cuts easily.

Rated by: Alinda S. in Norridgewock, ME

The surface of the board is great! It is thinner than Bainbridge and curls some. I like the fact that it is square when Bainbridge doesn't seem to care about squareness.

Rated by: Jeff M. in Rockwell, NC

I find that the product arrived very promply and is great. I have used Crescent board for many years and find it hard to obtain in my area, so by price and quality, you can't beat it!

Rated by: Lisa L. in Beach Lake, PA

The Crescent Illustration Board has met my expectations and needs for college projects. I have purchased this item in bulk and the price is excellent, the service and speed at which I received the item was top notch! The packaging and care MisterArt.com takes when shipping makes you #1 in my book, for quality and caring for your customers, THANKS!

Rated by: Richard K. in Hays, KS

The service you provided was simply great and the Crescent board is good quality and great to use.

Rated by: Deborah M. in Mystic, CT

I always order by the carton, as I am assured that there will be no finger prints or damage to the surfaces. I require an excellent quality surface before I spend the time to render my art, not to mention the archival properties. Art lasts as long as the quality of the support and preparation of your surfaces.

Rated by: Pam D. in Fullerton, CA

Wonderful medium to do pen and ink on! One of the keys for this illustration board is to get it unscratched/unbent/unfingerprinted, and MisterArt.com packaged it very well so it got to me in pristine condition. The boards at my local art store were in such bad condition, I couldn't even use them.
