Ultra-Smooth PU Leather Desk Pad & Mat Office Desk Drawing & Writing Board A3/ A4 File Paper Clip Table Protector Mat on Top Large 24''x18'' (Black)

A lot of negative reviews say that the packaging was bad and that their mat had bends that wouldn’t flatten. I think those reviews reached the vendor, bc mine came in a large flat box that the mat fit into perfectly. No damage to the mat at all. Flawless.

Love the size and quality of this thing. Fits perfectly underneath keyboard so when i need to write something on the desk its right there waiting to be used

This mat sets perfectly flat on my desk secretary and allows ample room for my computer and mouse. I like the rail at the top as I can slip notes beneath and keep them hidden. The color is a very dark brown, which goes well with the mahogany desk. I did a lot of searching and found that this product was reasonably priced and works very well for my needs.

10/02/2016 UPDATE: I emailed the seller who emailed me back requesting that I provide:"order ID and products photos for us. we need them to check it for you." I provided the requested information but I never heard anything back. So I take that to mean there is no brown version available even though the item is described as brown. I took off one star for wasting my time. 08/29/2016 UPDATE: I reordered and they again shipped black instead of brown. The label on the outer wrapper seems to indicate brown and the product description (as of this writing) indicates brown. So be cautious of you really must have brown. Otherwise, a good product. I ordered four these for a small office glass conference room table that was getting scratched. I was concerned about the size and whether they would just look like dinner table place mats. Well, they are very thick and sturdy, and the size is just right for my application. In the picture I have one of the top flaps raised to show how it works. There seems to be magnets embedded into the flap to clamp it down when not raised. Overall seems to work well. The description of this particular version indicates color brown, but the pictures seem to be black, and the product as delivered is black. I will return and reorder and see if I get the correct color. But other than the color issue, seems well made.

After spending the night in a Mariott Hotel and having a very similar desk pad on the desk, I came home and ordered. This is what has been missing from my office desk. My pens write smoother and my laptop doesn't get as hot. I have a white desk and the black pad on it looks very nice.

Very pleased with desk pad's smooth surface as it was purchased more for writing vs gaming or as a mouse pad. I did not need the flap to secure paper items so this "stripped down" model is exactly what is needed without the extra bulk. Stitching around the pad seems secure and color as described.

Very nice product. I like the stitching around the perimeter. I like to focus on the area it defines (mouse, keyboard, checklist of tasks for the day on a Post-It note on my monitor) to help me be more productive (hopefully).

It is exactly how it looks and better

I love to write handwritten letters and needed a writing pad I could move from my desk, to the coffee table, to the garden, to my bedroom and easily keep my letters organized. I chose this pad based on customer reviews and was very pleased with the pad from the moment it arrived. The surface texture is perfect for ballpoint, roller-ball or fountain pen writing and that quality is what I look for when finding a writing surface. I do however prefer a solid surface such as a drafting board when writing with pencil. This pad has what the manufacturer calls a 'paper clip' and is seen in the product photograph as a black strip along the top length of the pad. That strip is held down by magnets and it holds papers in place when moving around or writing outside on a breezy day. I find that strip very useful as whenever I want to take a break, I can grip my papers under the strip and then leave the pad against the sofa or wall until I am ready to write again. Then I have everything laid out as where I left off and am ready to go. This feature allows me to stay focussed without needing a dedicated space solely for one writing project. The underside of the strip is of the same build quality as the rest of the pad and is completely flush too. The writing pad does flex somewhat when pressed hard though appears to return to completely flat when released and is rigid enough to support my writing even when balanced on my knees or on top of a cushion. This writing pad is good value for money. I have made my own writing pads in the past and know it would cost almost the same to make a writing pad as to buy this one. Also, I would buy this writing pad again and as mentioned, I am pleased with the purchase. The pad appears to be well built and looks like a quality desk accessory that matches my black E+M pen pot, black Alienware laptop, etc. The surface appears to be easy to clean. I tried writing on it using a blue water based ink and was able to wipe the ink clean. I expect with a minimum of care this pad will last me for many years.

Very smart and and an excellent size - perfectly accommodates a keyboard and mouse!

Très bel article, élégant et pratique... À voir a l'utilisation pour la qualité qui a l'air d'être bonne...

ottimo acquisto devo dire ben fatto di ottima qualità, il prezzo e coretto per il prodotto

J'allais mettre 5 étoiles au vu du tres bon rapport qualité prix, et puis le titre c'est "de grande qualité" et la, il ne faut pas pousser. C'est très bien mais on en a -comme souvent- pour son argent
