Wish I had this years ago.
I almost ruined a while marble counter top in my former house from having a curling iron, IN A HEAT PROOF CASE, on the counter for about 15 minutes each day. Over time it turned the marble a dirty gold color.  I had to pay to have it professionally redone before we sold the house.  So, I was NOT going to have that happen in my new house.  As usual, I searched Amazon reviews for products and chose this pad based on that.  It works just great! No discoloration.  Now I have it under by curling iron, without a heat proof case, on the top of a wooden table.  Not a mark.  No drying of the wood, either.  Wish I had this years ago!
