I ordered these acrylic sheets to cut down for small shelves in a custom niche in my home office that will hold small glass items and keepsakes. The niche is recessed into the wall, 8?wide/deep, and 60?tall. A smart light at the top shines down with color-changing effects, so I wanted the shelves to be clear. I chose these 1/5-inch-thick xTool acrylic sheets to ensure that they would not sag under the weight of small keepsakes.
I ordered a 2-pack that arrived securely packaged and exactly as described. Each sheet measures 12?x 12? The 1/5-inch thickness is heftier than I expected and akin to a 1/4?piece of heavy-duty glass, except it’s lighter than glass and doesn’t break. Each sheet is protected on both sides by a semi-opaque plastic film that peels off easily. Once the acrylic surface is exposed, it is crystal clear and blemish-free. When I cut the sheets down, I used a jigsaw. I left the protective film on while cutting so I would not scratch the surface, and I applied a 2-inch-wide strip of masking tape along the cutlines for more protection.
These sheets are high-quality acrylic—crystal clear and quite substantial. I was impressed by the quality, and the price isn’t bad considering that all acrylic products have become pricier lately. I am happy with this purchase and will buy this product again if I undertake similar projects in the future.
