Using other objects to prevent ESD

Hi, I am building a open air case and would like to know if you could use a rubber sheet or anti-static mat instead of risers to stop static killing my motherboard?

I just dont want to have to make holes in my new test bench

If it's just for the purpose of testing then any normal cardboard would be ok to sit it on or the box in which it came.

Its going to sit there for a while, I dont really want an enclosed case... but there no open air cases to fit an E-ATX Motherboard as far as I know. so might have to make some holes in there... Do i drill all the way through the material im using for risers? (Plexi/Acrylic.)

Thanks, 10mm Acrylic might go even thicker
