LovePads 1.5mm Thick 30x30 Inches Clear PVC Desk Mat - Office Desk Protector, Writing Surface Cover for Computer, Home & Workstation (Ideal for Typing, Writing & Protecting Furniture)

I ordered one in 2018 for a finished bamboo standing desk. It worked perfectly and was easy to trim to size. Still looks good almost 4 years later.I just bought another roll for a different project, and the roll arrived bent in two places. I didn't contact the seller since it didn't seem worth the trouble. I just returned through Amazon. UPS picked up for free the next day, and I was refunded. Since my first order was successful a few years ago, I guessed I just got a lemon. So, I ordered the exact same item again from the same seller. It came a couple days later and this roll arrived in perfect shape.Lesson: if it arrives with dents/bending in the roll, just send it back, and try again!Additional thoughts after using:Some reviews mentioned oil spots forming. I now wonder if this has to do with misunderstanding around some wood finishes. Some woods, when using a more natural look, have oil finishes. Mine does. In fact, I applied a new oil finish just prior to getting the vinyl. This is important to protect my wood from cracking. As expected, some wet looking spots formed under the vinyl. It's obviously coming from areas that are more saturated with oil, and are branding at the surface. This happens without the vinyl cover. It's just not very noticeable. I'm hoping it will stop happening over time if I keep wiping it up. Either way, not the fault of the cover!Also, wrinkles go away pretty quickly (24-48 hours), which I think is related to reviews expressing concern around the vinyl stretching/expanding. As the vinyl settles and the wrinkles disappear, it obviously stretches out a bit. This seems normal (bound by the law of physics), and useful to keep in mind if you are aiming for precise cuts like I am.We were experiencing white marks on our wood table. I’m assuming it was from hot dishes even though we use hot pads. After 7 years of dinners and homework I decided to buy this expensive piece of plastic. It has been great. My family has still been using hot pads and had little spills here and there. Erasers crumbs and food crumbs are wiped onto the table BUT I no longer worry about it. Kids are able to write directly on the table without needing clip boards or hard surfaces and that’s been a destresser as well. Only regret was not buying it when we bought our table.Tried all 4 methods:1: Hot water2: Sunlight3: Blow Dryer4: Heavy Weights over several days.** #4 works best. Left several books on the surface for 3 days. Got it as flat as possible. I used double- sided clear tape to hold it place to stop it from sliding everywhere once it was flattened. This may not work for everyone depending on their table surface and if the tape would ruin it or not ( my tape will not due to the coating on my table top). Overall not bad. True to size. Came on time. No physical damage. Just a hassle to lay it flat.The size is good .. however, getting it to lay flat has been a really big challenge. They suggest letting the sun hit for a few hours - Eh. Didn't work. Then they suggested if that doesn't help, try a hair dryer. That was a tiny bit more successful - but not fully. It comes rolled and the rolling lumps are proving a challenge. Once it lays flat it WILL be a good fit. I do like the thickness. And it is easy to wipe off and clean. Plates and such do NOT slide on the over. I put the frost side down - with the smooth side up - thinking that cleaning would be easier. Was surprised about the tackiness of the smooth side (meaning you don't slide any thing on it) - but still appreciate not have an ugly, thin clear plastic table cloth on the table. I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. My reviews are honest reflections of my personal experiences. You may have a different experience due to personal preference and/or other situations.I use it to cover the papers on my desk so I don’t get them wet with drinks but even after months of having it, it still has a corner lifting. I’ve switched it all different ways but I always find a corner lifting. Still recommend and I’ll probably buy an even thicker one if you ask me.We bought a “work table” to be our kitchen island from a local store, and its “counter” has this design on it that could get ruined at the slightest scratch, and the intrinsic value would be trashed if it was ruined. We looked for a cover that would allow us to show the countertop to blend with our attempt at a rustic farmer/industrial look. We were pleased to find these and opted for the 2mm thick. It was a bit tough to get to lay flat but finally it did. It allows for the counter color to come through clearly and it has been protective as we expected from accidental spills, sliding items and utensil markings. Only thing I can suggest is if you are looking for edge to edge coverage, consider getting something to hold the corners, the protector can slide a little too easy.Material is very thick and sturdy. It protects my dining room table from any spills and scratches. The length I purchased was a bit longer, so I had to cut it to fit. Coverage is great!This is the great quality table protector i opened the table cover and leave it on the flat surface for 12 hours then I put it on my new table no any issues and no smell so far so goodTable protector came with a ton of wrinkles due to how it was shipped. I spoke with the company and their customer service was good. They explained many ways to resolve my issue. Item is nice and thick & will protect my table.I like the thickness of the pad. The only thing I should of had done was to ordered the frosted pad which is recommended for wood tops to avoid air pockets. But it still does a great job at protecting the wood.Bonjour oui ces un bon matériel mais malheureusement même si j'ai suivi les consigne reçu par le service a la clientèle pour installation pas facile il y avait beaucoup de bulle tel que montré sur la photo j'ai attendu quelque jours malheureusement les bulles ont jamais parti ces très décevantI recently had a birch wood bar counter installed in my small kitchen . Since I use it to do some baking and food prep I was worried that the wood might get damaged so decided to go with this product. I am delighted at the quality and thickness of it. and highly recommend. Definitely worth buying..I read a lot of the reviews before ordering. I do recommend ordering a size just slightly smaller than the dimensions of your table. Our table was a 36x60 so we ordered a 35.6 x 59 and it worked perfectly. It unrolled easily and laid flat almost instantly. I still put a few heavy items on it for a couple days. Very happy with this.
