   First the good…arrived packaged well, it’s delivered flat so it isn’t rolled up when you get it. It’s a great size, with plenty of room for my 15″ MacBook, plus a keyboard, mouse, etc. and more room to spare. Doesn’t slip or slide on my desk at all. The “leather” surface is nice and soft, feels great. My mouse works well on it as well. It add just a bit of padding under my wrists/elbows while I’m working which is great. So appearance and functionality and both great.Now the only negative so far. I’ve been using this for 8 days (since 03/05/2020) and it’s already starting to “warp” somehow along a few edges (see picture). I can only assume this is somehow being caused by my laptop, as that’s the corner where it sits. I don’t understand how or why, other than heat coming off my laptop is causing the desk pad to become malformed. This is pretty disappointing after 8 days. That’s where my laptop sits and remains at all times, and I’m not about to relocate my laptop when not in use just to preserve the desk pad. This desk pad replaced my previous desk pad after 14 years, and I never had an issue like this. So, I can only imagine this is a “you get what you pay for” scenario.I’ll continue using it for now as the rest of the desk pad is still fine, including the front portion which faces me. But I’ll likely spend a bit more money on a better quality desk pad in the near future, one that won’t warp or bend after a week.UPDATE 06/05/2020: Updating this review and adding a new picture, as the front of the pad has now started to warp and buckle as well. This really makes no sense, as the front of my laptop doesn’t put off any heat at all. I’ve even taken to propping up the back of my laptop to prevent the back edge of the mat from warping worse, which seems to be working. But I can’t prop the front edge of my laptop up as well. Beyond the warping, it’s been a nice mat to use over the last several months. Have spilled a couple things and the mat cleans up well. The surface feels great. But I just had to knock another star off my rating because of the warping issue. Now that the front edge is warping as well, I’m going to be forced to start shopping for a new mat.UPDATE 03/06/2023: Despite my prior comments on this and stating that I’d likely buy a different desk mat, I never did. It’s now almost exactly 3 years after my initial purchase, and I’m still using this mat. The warping/buckling on the front of the mat eventually flattened. I began using a laptop stand which elevated the back of my laptop off the mat, so the warping at the back subsided as well and has not been an issue. It continues to be easy to clean, still looks great, and is still meeting my needs. As such, after three years of use, I’m bumping my star rating up to 4. Leaving a star off simply because of the initial warping issues. One shouldn’t have to wait months for the mat to flatten. But it has, so all is well!

   I no joke got this product delivered 30 seconds ago, I have never heard of this brand before, but liked that they hid their logo and it shipped flat. Immediate 11/10. Great mat.

   Just got an antique rosewood rolltop-type desk. We wanted to protect the writing surface, which was only 13-inches deep, but 32-inches long. The depth/width dictated the mat size. Nekmit was the only Amazon provider with a 12-inch wide/deep mat (but only available in 17-inch length)! The black leather looks good and is of good quality, but would have preferred a brown color (not available).BTW, we’ve ordered an other one!

   I keep this in front of our cash register at the shop for people to sign receipts. It cleans up easy and looks great.

   You might think that there are hundreds of desk pads for under $50. But you’d be wrong. There’s only one, and it’s this one.I first bought this desk pad 5 years ago and the surface has started to wear away so I’m buying it again. I would love to try a different brand but there are no alternatives. This product stands out for its durability. It has a finished edge. It doesn’t slide around on the table. It’s also 3mm thick and more rigid than you’d expect. These last two characteristics are essential to prevent the edge curling problem that’s endemic to lesser desk pads.The only minor complaint I had is the Nekmit logo embossed in the upper left corner. But in the new version, it’s been moved to the underside. So now it’s even better.
