[Noisebridge-discuss] Buying ESD mats?

[Daniel Pitts]

Those look good, I think the price difference is in dimensions, and 
shipping (since I get free shipping with Amazon Prime). Might be good 
enough, depending on your work space and needs.  If you include 
shipping, I paid a similar amount ($58 for mine, $50 for the same size 
one you listed), but I get it delivered in 2 days, not 1-2 weeks ;-).
