OMG - don't buy this! You can get the SAME THING on Amazon for around $40. Seriously. This is ridiculous. DO NOT PAY $140 for this thing!!!! Shame on Massdrop - this isn't a deal, it's a rip-off. I routinely find equal or better prices on items offered here from websites with much less complicated purchasing processes and shorter shipping times.
I have one, it's great and very useful, but DO NOT BUY THIS ONE FOR THIS PRICE.

As I have not seen your light box I can not comment on the comparison between it and the one that I have (that I ordered from Massdrop previously). Of course, a window will work well as a light box, as will a piece of plexiglass placed across two boards with a lightbulb underneath, as will any of a number of different inexpensive light boxes. They will all work. I have used several of them. When I was initially considering my purchase, I did some comparison shopping online and the exact same one offered by Massdrop was selling for considerably more elsewhere (same model, etc.). Therefore I felt that ordering from Massdrop instead of from any of the other, more expensive, sites made sense. I can only say that when I opened the package from Massdrop I was completely satisfied with the quality of this particular lightbox. The one I ordered is very large and wafer-thin, the lights are exceptionally bright, and and there are no hot spots nor are there any darker spots. It is a beautiful, well-made piece of equipment. I have used it mainly for appliqué work to go on pillows and quilts, and it is just a joy to use. All I can say is that if you find the EXACT same model elsewhere for less, of course you should go for it. If you are perfectly happy with alternatives that are less expensive, you should of course use them. Nonetheless, this model is a very satisfactory tool that is extremely well made and is quite enjoyable to use. Personally, I like using it much more than I ever liked using a window or any of my cheaper lightboxes. Your mileage may vary, of course.

I bought from last drop and I love it for appliqué tracing and paper piecing. The largework surface and lighting are wonderful. I got the large one. Some reviews I read on other sites complained about the on/off switch being so reactive by touch when they would accidentally swipe across it while using it. I kept the corner packaging and just slip it over the button and it takes care of the problem. I am getting the smaller one for my artist granddaughter because it is smaller and lighter for her to take to class.
It is also great for use with Cricut as a surface for"weeding".

I have noticed a few people have asked if this will work for paper piecing, but I dont see a reply to their inquiries. Has anyone who bought this in the past used this for paper piecing? Thanks.

I placed an order for the light box and wanted to add the cutting mat. There is no option to do so. What do we do now to add it to the order.

I'm a quilter. Is this light-box bright enough to put paper pattern on it and then put material over that and trace a pattern? Also, notice a couple of the light-boxes did work is this a problem with this brand?

Really wanted to get this lightbox with the cutting mat. But as the cutting mat is not available in the buying options, I will not participate in the drop. Would be great if we could get some help as to why there is no mat option (did they sell out? is there a different way to order the self healing mat?) for what has been advertised.
