I purchased this pedalboard about 1 & 1/2 years ago. I was able to get it "scratch & dent", so I got a really good deal on it. I admit that I was a bit skeptical, as others have remarked that it is a toy. But, I have been well pleased with it. I gave it a lower rating for features, because it lacks some of the features that other, more expensive pedalboards have. However, that was actually something that attracted me to this. It is easy to use. I use it with an Alesis bass module. The pedals are covered with wood at the ends and have proven to be plenty durable. All in all, I have not been dissapointed by this pedalboard.
