I read the product description specifications and at least 20 reviews here before ordering. The description says "made of laminated wood" and "cleated back". It is actually just a piece of what is essentially vinyl flooring. IT IS NOT REAL WOOD. And I would not call the back "cleated" or "rubber". It's also a little rough on the back so I am afraid it might not protect my antique oak floor which was the goal. Returning.
Mat was delivered with no boxing stuck into corner of deck as it was -20 degrees and very windy that day. I was afraid it would crack when I carried it into my house. I laid it out flat for 2 days in the house to try to get it to flatten out since it was frozen in a weird shape. Laid it down on my new hardwood floors stepped on it to set down and swosh the mat moved on me. Looking for something to help hold it in place so it will stop moving as I get out of my chair. I will not buy another one like this.
It works ok. Only problem is that it arrived unpackaged. Had two big scratches on it. And had shipping labels all over the veneer surface. These were a nightmare to get off and could not get all the adhesive from the tags off the mat. Should have sent it back but went ahead and used it anyways.
I am using this anchored by my desk legs but there is no binding up or rolling with this mat whatsoever. It's perfect for hard floor use but I suggest a thorough cleaning before putting it down to minimize the potential for damage to your floor surface. Would buy this again and recommend to others.
