K KNODEL Large Office Leather Desk Mat, Mouse and Keyboard Pad, Computer and Laptop Mat, Desktop Protector and Cover, Writing Pad and Blotter (80x40cm, Purple)

I used to have a large fabric (map of the world) mat but even the hint of a spilled cup of tea meant it looked grubby and I needed to wash it weekly. This on the other hand is great. Covers most of my desk, is wipe clean and doesn’t stain. The mat is caramel brown on one side and grey on the other, and can be used either side. The edges are not sewn but not raw. So far it’s not frayed or distorted and I’m at my desk 9 hours a day. Withstood spills and hot cups, pen marks rubbed off quickly using a screen wipe and the mouse works fine on it. Overall a good buy for the money.

Good quality and exactly the colour I was looking for.

Colour is great, quality is great and looks amazing and also comfortable to work on.

So happy with my purchase, this desk pad / cover is so well made and protects my desk from scratches. It looks excellent too - 10/10

I really like the product, good quality and looks so nice.

Great product for providing worksurface and protecting table. Photo was taken not long after unrolling so left hand edge not yet flat. Feels like very smooth leather.

Aesthetically, I really love this product. It's a beautiful soft baby pink hue, which fits in wonderfully with a themed pink and purple bedroom. Primarily, this mat was purchased to protect the top of a desk which is in frequent daily use - computer work, writing, reading, gaming etc. To that end, it does the job well.It's wipe clean (I've accidentally spilled tea on it, which cleaned right off without any stains), a good size and it both feels and looks high quality. It even comes with a strip of fabric made of the same material to keep it rolled up when not in use, which was a nice touch.Unfortunately, the biggest issue I've found is that it's VERY slippery on the wooden desk I use it on. Unlike other mouse mats and desk covers I've had which adhere and stick to the surface, this one slips all over the place with the slightest nudge. It's not ideal because I love the look of the mat itself, but to make full use of it, I'm going to have to invest in some non-slip fabric to place underneath it to stop it from sliding here, there, and everywhere.The second issue I've found is that it's a little hard to get the rolled up shape of the mat out. I've had it open flat on my desk now for over a week and the edges on one side are still curled up a little from storage (see photo). I've tried rolling it the other way around and even weighing heavy books down on top of it, but there's just a small bit of curve left at one end that refuses to lie flat on the desk. I'm hoping this goes in time and with use.Other than the above points, it's a lovely and well made desk mat or mouse mat. It works great with my laptop mouse, no issues there, is a lovely shade of pink and the cut of the fabric is precise with no loose threads or edges anywhere. Just a shame it doesn't stick to the desk like other mouse mats.

I've just taken delivery of this. Lovely colour. I expected the backing to be rubberise or some kind of non-slip surfact. It isn't. Like like a foiled or shiny backing which has no non-slip element to it at all.I laid it flat, and still waiting for it to fully flatted. But when I put my wrist or keyboard on it, thankfully it is up against the base of my monitor so that stops it. If that wasn't there, this mat would fly off the back of the desk.I am going to use it fully soon, but initial thoughts: bad backing design, for someone you want to be stable on the desk. from day one. This is NOT stable from day one. This is "oh heck... it's off...".TBC......This is the final part of this review. After about 10 mins use, this is being returned. The back of the mat is a shiny plastic. Apply that to a plastic or laminate standard desk, and it is all over the place. Mine was pressed to the flat front of a Monitor base, but if I push the side at all, or my elbow is on it, it shifts suddenly.Sorry to say, it's going back.
