I cannot answer Yes or No to any of the above questions, as it is somewhere in between. The boards will do the job but are extremely flimsy and were - and remain - slightly bent. If, like us, weight is an issue because you are using them for camping then yes: I would recommend. If you want them for home, then no: I would not. Value wise, having just looked for the price again: no, I do not think they are good value. Quality is covered by their flimsiness.
