Dont use for metric, otherwise just fine.
Would Not RecommendToo floppy to be a straight edge. I liked that they labeled the metric side in mm so much that I didn’t realize they put it on so youre forced to measure using the bottom which isn’t fun to do so I never use it. Unfortunate. It’s fine if you’re using inches.
Used for Quilting
Would RecommendPurchased this for straightening my fabric. Excellent size and, as another suggested, check edges for straightness in store. Light weight and large numbers. Metal won't warp from humidity like a wooden ruler will. Great price, too!

Warped from store
Would Not RecommendPurchased to act as a straight edge while ripping plywood and it had a pretty significant warp about half way down the ruler. Triple check in the store before buying if you truly are wanting a straight edge.
Just what I needed
Would RecommendProbably not a typical use but I an using this so I press quilt strips straight.
Measuring stick
Would RecommendGreat measuring stick. Made hanging a series of framed pictures at specific increments very easy.
