Aothia Office Desk Pad, Natural Cork & PU Leather Dual Side Large Mouse Pad, Laptop Desk Table Protector Writing Mat Easy Clean Waterproof for Office Work/Home/Decor (Black,23.6"x13.7")

Brown is medium-brown. My photo shows true color, with the medium-brown pad against a dark-brown wooden desktop, and a silver-gray cable stretched across both. Desk hinge is black, and this photo was taken with natural light on a cloudy day. The plastic surface is textured to resemble real leather to the eye and to the hand. Since it's plastic, the feel isn't exactly that of leather, but it's pleasant enough.Description says 2mm thick; I haven't measured but I'm sure it's no thicker than that.The cork layer underneath is paper-thin. You don't need cork for shock-absorption or anything like that, because the plastic surface is soft enough on its own; the cork may help it avoid slipping on the surface below. (Mine doesn't slip.) The work surface is soft enough that to write on it I may want to use an additional backer, like a clipboard or piece of heavy paper. As a mousepad surface, it's perfectly fine, and thinner than most mousepads.The pad doesn't lay completely flat immediately. I only just received this, so let's give it time. I attempted to get the outer edges to lay down with a warm hairdryer, but that didn't do much; I didn't let it linger as to not cause damage. The curling it does do is with a very slight hump just before the outer edge. This is far preferable to the edge "curling up", and if it never does lie completely flat, that won't be the end of the world. It will still be serviceable. If it never does lay flat, though, I may remove a star later.My main purpose for this pad is as a surface for handwriting. I'll need to experiment with this, as I don't want stylus pressure or bleeding ink to damage it. Better to damage this than to damage the furniture it's sitting on, though; and I have a sense this will protect the underlying surface well.

I bought aqua to go with my room's color scheme. It looks great. The size is right for me, and my glass desk reflecting everything under it was bothersome. This worked out that issue. I like that it works for a mouse pad as well. The only thing I don't like is that the bottom of it is not non-slip, and it tends to move around. Perhaps future iterations will be non-slip.

I have been using this mat consistently for the last year in my office. It eliminates the need for a separate mousepad as it is wide enough to allow you both a keyboard and a mouse. It also provides your keyboard just enough grip that it does not slide around. A great purchase!

Hands down the best desk mat, I’ve purchased 4 now over the last two years as we’ve added more desk spaces. Nice cork back, no weird smell, lays flat very soon after unrolling, not weird logo imprint. Just a nice, clean mat that works great for a mouse pad, writing surface, etc. looks high end. Cleans well. Great product!

I just bought a new desk and wanted to not only protect it but add some color. The desk being small and the mat being big, the cord hole was covered. A friend of mine cut the cord hole out of the mat and popped the hole cover back in. I think it looks like it was always meant to be there! The color's true to the photo on Amazon. I'm really happy!

Bought it for my office cubicle and it worked out perfectly.

It flattened out within a day. I got lots of compliments on it at work and cleans very easily. Would order again :)

I ordered the large desk pad. It came in no issues. It is a little thinner than I expected but overall, pretty good quality especially for the price. My only issue is that it slips very easily. I am a student and I often switch from iPad to keyboard, but I noticed when I write on my iPad it begins to slowly slip. My only wish is that is was more nonslip. Otherwise, it's a very nice desk pad and looks great.

Everything about this deskmat is great for the price. It definitely won't have the supple leather feel, but looks great and holds up well to moisture. Thing is if you adjust the mat too often, it can curl up very slightly on the edges and would take some weight over top to flatten out

Buen producto, viene en un buen empaque. Es del color seleccionado.

Die Farbe ist toll und die Größe für meinen kleinen Schreibtisch perfekt.Leider bröselt das Kork hinten ab.Ist aktuell ok, da ich es ja nicht bewege, aber ich hoffe es ist nicht schnell kaputt.

Etwas schmal, ich hatte es mir größer vorgestellt. Von der Qualität her aber ok.

Gorgeous mat! Highly recommend. The material is absolutely perfect for my space. I got the dark blue one, and it contrasts so nicely with the cork.
