Excellent idea!
EXCELLENT IDEA! It would get more stars if it were priced accordingly to what I received OR if the product were sturdy in any sense. These are too thin and flimsy to withstand multiple movements. I will be returning this as I can't use it. I can't read the printing on the elements without using a magnifying glass or taking pictures with my cell phone, going into the Gallery on the phone and enlarging it on the screen. I work regularly with 1/4" = 1 ft scale, so that's not the issue, but it is definitely a negative in accumulation with the rest of the items in this package. In my opinion, this product nowhere near worth the price I paid of $27. This is a collection of seven sheets folded into cardstock "cover" printed with examples and industry standard placement measurements (those are definitely a plus!), slipped into flimsy zippered bag with a piece of plain old cardboard inserted for stability for shipping. The plastic bag does have a potentially useful grid printed on it, but you would have to insert a white cardboard or matboard similar in order to make it useful. I just expected something that will last - at least put it in something like a shallow chipboard box so we can store it. The plastic envelope is useless as is the printed cardstock folded around the sheets. It's not even useful like a cardstock folder that has pockets to keep the contents from slipping out - this is merely folded in half. There are innumerable useful images to use, but accessing and placing and repositioning them is too frustrating for me as these are thin like thin decals - not even vinyl sticker depth. When I read the description of 'peel and stick' reusable, I assumed a hearty flexible plastic like the original Colorforms which did and would still withstand PEELING AND STICKING relentlessly. These won't hold up with repositioning multiple times. The flimsy paper grid sheet is FOLDED in fourths and I really, really, really don't like that. Better to ship in huge flat chipboard envelope or ROLLED UP. If I don't return this, I will cut that along the fold lines and attach to a substantial underlayment. Otherwise, it won't stay flat because of the creases and it will wrinkle quite easily without permanent support. I know it's assumed to be used on a table or desk, but if you want to move it or even put it away, there's more manipulation of the flimsy products.
