I am so happy with the dusty blue tone of this desk pad. It doesn’t show every scuff and it works perfectly to protect my desk top. It stays put and does not slide around under the laptop.I always tend to read the negative reviews first to compare to the positive. Always surprised by just how much of a divergence there is. Makes you wonder if the negatives are reviewing the same product or maybe a different one. The mat came nicely packaged, rolled up tightly in its own box and shipped inside a another. Tightly rolled but FLATTENED out nicely. The attached picture shows the only part not flattened after about 18 hours on the desk. Barely noticeable. The mat is thin but its exactly the thickness described, about as thick as a quarter. Doesn't feel plasticky, no discernable odor. Nicely textured. Actually looks and feels close to leather. Those that comment on the thickness are not going to get a cushioned pad of this size at this price point. Maybe they should look at one of the large desk size mouse pads. I wanted a mat to cover most of the working surface of my 48"x 24" desktop and this delivers. I needed something to protect the surface as well as provide a surface to write on as my desk, being reclaimed wood is not glass smooth. NO LOGO WAS EMBOSSED ON THE MAT. All in all, I am pleased and feel I got my money's worth and maybe more.Handsome Product. Easy to clean.I'm sure there are better desk protectors, some cost over $100, but for the price, this thing is amazing. Lays perfectly flat and doesn't slide around too easily.I have a desk I made out of plywood so this very large pad feels great and look better. My only complaint is I have a brand new steel series mouse and it does not work on it. That means yes I have a mouse pad on this very large mouse pad. I have the gray colored one.The color is as shown and is close to the photo. The pad looks and feels cheap. It is thin (some people might prefer this) so it doesn’t dampen the sound of the desk surface. There is a slight sheen to it which made it look like plastic. After leaving it out for three days, trying to lay heavy books on it, and even warming it up with a hair dryer, the pad would not lay completely flat. The edges remained wavy which made it look even cheaper! Returned and do not recommend.Fresh out of the box, I LOVE IT! I bought the 39x20 and it fits perfectly on my desk. I was worried it would need time to flatten out since it was shipped rolled up, but it laid out great with minimal warping!Possible CONS:I bought the "Greyish Brown" (the box it came in calls it "Light Brown"), and it's actually a shade or two lighter than what is pictured. Personally, I love it MORE for that! I love the lighter color. But if that is not something you're looking for, beware that it is lighter than depicted.Their brand name "TESOBI" is embossed on the corner. On my size mat, it is about 2.5 inches long (0.5 inches wide/tall). I, personally, don't mind this. It's not bad looking, but to make it less noticeable, I turned the mat around so it sits in the upper (back) left corner.Time will tell how durable it is, but just by feeling, it feels very wipable/cleanable.The material used feels nice despite being thin. Some reviews say there are lines because of the way it was rolled, but mine went away after a while. The material gets easily scratched :'cMy mouse glides nicely.I wish it didn't have a logo on the side, but not noticeable once zoned in work.Product sent is not as advertised . There is not cork on the other side . Just a piece of synthetic . It is rolled up so bad and crumpled that it is not fit for use .Product is fine. Not bad, but not as advertised.
