Clear Desk Pad, Aisakoc 35.5''x15.8'' Non-Slip Textured PVC Soft Desk Writing Mat - Round Edges Desk Protector

The media could not be loaded. I used a steam iron with a pillowcase to flatten the mat. The steam iron method works perfectly and much better than placing books on top of the mat.The mat is made out of very sturdy thick PVC material and so steam heat is the best and most effective way to steam press out the rolls in the mat. The steam and heat causes the mat to soften and the the iron presses the rolls out of the mat perfectly. I set the temperature on the iron to medium heat. The mat won't melt from the heat because it's made out of thick PVC material, and the hot iron is only touching the pillowcase. The mat is protected by the pillowcase, the iron is not directly touching the mat. Be sure to lay the mat on the ironing board with the bottom soft side of the mat facing up and the frosted side of the mat facing down. Or lay the mat on the ironing board with the rolls facing down. Then place a pillowcase on top of the mat, then steam press the mat until the mat is flat. Let the mat completely cool off before you move it to the desk top. Once it cools off it will return to the original thickness and it will stay flat on the desk top.

No matter what I did (using a pile of very heavy stuff, rolling it up in reverse & banding it for a few days, hair dryer...) the side edges wouldn't lay flat - they always had a little mound. Accidently, I happened to put a hot kitchen plate on an edge; when I moved the plate a few minutes later, that section of the edge laid flat. So I heated a plate w/a little water on it in the microwave (30 seconds) 5 more times until I had flattened both side edges (the diameter of 3 plates covered each side). Now it is great for as a FLAT protected covering for a section of our tablecloth so I can write on the pad (crosswords, sudoku, etc.)

This is exactly what you expect, a clear plastic floor matt. I will say, if you’re looking for something rigid this isn’t it, this is pretty soft leading to things you put on it especially on carpet sinking into it quite a bit if it’s heavy like a large computer. I had initial issues with it wanting to curl back up after cutting it and it seems to still be trying to curl even a couple months after. All in all, great product if you’re looking for a plastic floor mat you can easily cut to shape.

My home office during the pandemic is our kitchen table and I was tired of having to use coasters and wipe down the wood every few days due to 8-10 hours of laptop work each day. This desk pad solves both of those problems - I can set drinks down on the pad and not worry about rings forming on the wood table, and I'm able to wipe away any dirt or grease from a working lunch easily. It's also softer on my forearms. Overall money well spent to make my workday a little more enjoyable.Our table has curved corners and the desk pad was easy to trim to custom fit it to the corners. I put three pieces of clear tape on the top edge behind my laptop to prevent it from sliding around. I keep a few items underneath for easy reference, like lottery tickets and UPS receipts for shipments I'm tracking.

Flattens out over time

I have a wooden desk with a rough surface needing a smooth writing pad. This pad is somewhat soft so it does not make a good writing surface.

My second desk cover, great quality, fast delivery, nice vendor.

This desk pad is exactly what I needed to protect the finish on my new home office desk. It is crystal clear, seems durable, and looks great. It was super easy to make it lie flat. I simply rolled it up in the opposite direction and secured it with a large rubber band for about 2 hours. It now lies perfectly flat -- easy. Love it!

Cet article est idéal pour mettre sur un bureau de travail. En plus de protéger le bureau on peut glisser des documents en dessous pour avoir toujours à la vue des notes importantes.

c'est un bon produit

I used it to protect my work desk top which is white in color. It does the job. However, I wish it was a little bit thicker. The seller does not mention the thickness of the product.

Just as expected
