I've seen those and I think they would work great but I'm on the fence about longevity. Some of the things I photograph are heavy with sharp edges and no matter how well you clean them, some still have grease come out and some of the raw ebony wood leaves black scuffs everywhere. I just wonder how the surface would hold up. After just a few scrapes or stains it might become more of a pain than it's worth. On the other hand I do go through a $25 roll of seamless fairly fast, due to the above issues. But at least I know I can just cut it off and have a clean smooth surface for the next shot. The other issue is my studio is SMALL, maybe 10x14 ft and that includes my desk. We have a larger warehouse area to set up larger shots but most are done in my office/small studio and I have no room for ANYTHING else in there. I do have one of those pop-up light boxes and find it useful once in a while.
