Review on 24 Tiles Puzzle Exercise Mat - Interlocking EVA Foam Floor Tiles For Home Gym And Fitness Room by Troy Kocur

We bought two (2) packages of these (48 tiles total) and used 42 to create a 12' x 14' workout space in our (before COVID) formal living room. These were placed over a hardwood floor for two purposes: protecting us (padded) and protecting the floor (shield from sweat and scuffing.)Please note that we like these tiles however:1. They are a bit uneven in appearance. Not color, but sheen -- some are noticeable more matte in appearance. If you're OCD on having a uniform appearance you'll want to unpackage them all, spread them out and plan how you're putting them together. Note when you're doing this that they are not reversible. If you flip one over, it will not interlock the rest. In the end, we decided we didn't care that much.2. They are not perfectly the same thickness. A few had some thickness variation (<3/32") that we noticed and played around with placement to try and get as smooth a transition between tiles as possible. Perhaps use and time would make them all uniform, but we chose to reposition a few to try and ensure there were no raised edges to catch a shoe on or to be noticeable to a barefoot.3. When placed on a wood floor they slide. We've ended up with anti-slip rug padding to keep them set in place. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MFR6ZUU) The slip was disconcerting, though not dangerous in our case, but that bit of slide, would, over time, scuff the floor beneath. This moderated the excellent buy of this product a bit and would be completely unnecessary if either you have something on top of it (equipment) or were cutting it to completely fill an area from wall to wall.Overall, they're a pleasure to be on when barefoot, they are lightly "slippy" in socks, and feel like they will be durable to sneakers as long as you're not spending a lot of time doing pirouettes.
