Overrall good quality but the elastic band isn't very reassuring.
I got this as a lighter and more portable alternative to my flight case pedal board. My intended use was for smaller local gigs where I carry my equipment rather than load/unload into cars/airport/etc.
The board itself is excellent quality. Very rugged and I can't see how it could break unless severely abused. But the solotion with the elastic band fastening the power supply isn't ideal. I'm using it with a T-Rex Fuel Tank Classic and the elastic band can't handle the weight of the power supply. After just carrying the pedalboard for relatively short distances (15-20min) the power supply has shifted and is starting to fall off the board completely. Not a HUGE problem as it's easy enough to re-fasten it but a bit annoying. Probably no worse than any other (more expensive) pedalboards with the same kind of elastic bands. I don't think the problem is just with the weight of the power supply though. I think part of the problem is that the elastic bands don't have enough tension around it. I would certainly not recommend this with any power supplies having smaller dimensions than the Fuel Tank Classic. They would just dangle loosely in there. It might be possible to fasten the power supply better with some additional velcro under the board but that's not supplied (the top of the board is already covered with "loop" velcro so only "hook" velcro is supplied).
The gigbag is very nice and far better than some of the cheaper/thinner varieties out there. Obviously it won't protect your pedals from much physical impact so it's not suitable for stacking in the back of a van, travelling by plane or anything like that. If that's the intended use you should get something with a flight case instead.
Overall I'm happy with this product but I would have preferred a better way of fastening the power supply. I can't really complain at this price though, it's so cheap it's practically free!

Great value
Compared to what similar products from other brands cost, this board delivers good functionality for a much lower price. The board and bag are sturdy and feel well made if not completely premium. I would recommend for up to 8 normal-sized stomps, 6 stomps and a wah pedal, or I have 4 stomps, a wah and a volume.

This pedalboard is excellent for the price! Everything feels rugged and solid and it comes with all the essentials that are needed for setting up.
The bag is good-looking and I think will last a long time. I would not recommend stacking anything else on top of the bag when traveling though, the bag does not have much padding and probably will not protect your footswitches.
The power brick attaches to the pedalboard with rubber bands - this is far from ideal, you definitely need to figure out ways to secure it better. It works fine for a while but it will come loose after some time.

Great for the money.
Really good value, well built from sturdy materials and the bag is very handy. It was tricky to mount my Voodoo Lab PSU underneath it as when it was placed between the brackets, the power input socket and the DC sockets were covered. So I had to insert a piece of stiff foam under the PSU to raise it up so the ports could be accessed. The PSU is held in place by elastic bands. Three were included, but I think at least 4 should be included in each pack as the Voodoo Lab and Fuel Tank PSU's are quite heavy. Or maybe an optional system could be offered as well - like small steel brackets that could be screwed in with self-tapping screws. I would gladly pay a bit extra for these as the board itself is great value.

Solid, basic, and cheap.
It's bigger and heavier than what I expected from the pictures. But it does its job and looks like it going to keep doing it for a long time...

quite good
The pedalboard itself is quite good. The quality seems nice. Size is fine to place up to 8-10 pedals (depends on sizes). The bag is nice as well.
The only problem is, that in item description it is written 1.26 kg, but when I received it was 4.7 kg. This is a big difference, when you pay extra for the weight. The shipping is free in Germany, but with third part company I received the board in another country and I payed quite much for that overweight. Would be nice if Thomann fixes this.

Great small first pedalboard for beginner
Bought this as my first pedalboard. Overall pretty happy so far. Seems well put together, comes with all the velcro you'll need. I initially thought the bracket and elastic was a smart idea for mounting the power supply however you do have to make sure your power supply will fit in the bracket under the board as these can't be adjusted. Overall a great board for my needs.

Almost perfect!
As a cheap pedalboard alternative, this is almost perfect. Construction quality is good and couldn't be happier with the board itself.
My sole complaint would be that the pocket on the front of the bag is just too small. It only fits a couple of cables comfortably, which doesn't really cut it when realistically it needs space for pedalboard power supply and a minimum of two jack leads, up to 4 if anyone is using 4 cable method

Small mounting brackets
Good quality and sturdy pedalboard. So far, holds up well to being stood on and hauled around in its case.
Easy to take apart and put back together as needed.
Only issue is the placement of the brackets underneath.
They are too close together to fit my, admittedly large, Truetone 1 Spot Pro CS12.
If they were only a millimetre further apart each it would fit perfectly.
Just be aware if you own or intend to purchase a power supply that a medium to large unit may cause you mounting problems.
Otherwise perfect for my needs.
