A Little Disappointed
I was really excited at the prospect of receiving this large ruler. But there are several things that I find disappointing. First, the steel edge is extremely sharp, and has little shards of metal that stick out on it. So handle with care. Secondly, I wish the numbers and grid lines were done in black, or any darker color really. It's pretty to look at the aqua and gold, but hard to read. One of the reasons I wanted a large ruler like this was to make it easier to read. So that's very disappointing. The third thing is, I find it awkward to use. I like to lay my ruler under the area I am measuring. That works on this ruler IF you are measuring in centimeters. But if you are using inches, the rule is upside down. I wish they had designed that a little differently. It was a very expensive ruler, and I don't think I will really use it. It makes a great paperweight, though.
