Protect your desktop in style with our Desky Leather Desk Mat.
The rugged matte surface is designed for not only smooth mouse movement - it is perfect for laser or optical mouse tracking. And anti slip backing keeps your desk pad solidly in position, so you never need to worry about your mat slipping.
We ship these bad boys flat so no need to worry about curled up corners and trying to mould them flat on arrival.
Thanks Ozbargainers - enjoy :-)
do the different leather types hinder performance? xD
It's going to be the difference between the leather wearing in nicely or it cracking and peeling in 12 months and going in the bin, so yeah it does. Also cheap leathers feel cheap and this is meant for your arms to rest on.
If anyone wants a recommendation for a quality alternative from a leather craftsmen I have used before and regard highly - https://eternalleathergoods.com/collections/desk-mats-mouse-…
can hinder quality, durability and overall feel :)
durability we're pretty confident on - comes with a 5 year warranty, and most of our customers have been happy with the feel so far :-)
It is "microfiber leather" according to their specification sheet. Microfiber leather is a type of synthetic leather.
Yeah from the vagueness of the listing and lack of response to my question I’m not surprised.
Microfibre leather is still PU faux leather, albeit a higher grade. False advertising
So what separates these ‘leather’ desk mats from the ones in say Aliexpress that go for 10 bucks or so?
At the moment ‘Desky’ looking like a enterprising drop shipping operation
I'm assuming this is real leather. You can't get real leather desk pads for $10.
Specifications say it is ‘microfibre leather’ and you can certainly get those for 10 bucks
We're both right then, it's not real leather
any recommendations?
But you can sell fake leather for real leather prices ;)
you need to offer gold imprint service, it can be a good idea as a gift.
Sorry Guys,
didn't intend on ghosting the thread just got smashed at work! Correct Microfiber leather - no animals were harmed in the making of this product :-)
They have been selling quite well and customers have been happy with the quality (as are we, use them in our offices too!)
You can see some customer pics in the review section of the product page.
We try our best to bring what we think Oz bargainers will like to the forum so appreciate the feedback and understand we can't please everyone although we do try!
Will see what i can get approved from the higher ups coming into EOFY, keep your eyes peeled.
Customer review pics from the moment they came out the box doesn't really help, of course they look nice. Show me one that has been used every day for 12 months.
they come with a 5 year warranty so pretty confident in the quality
Pretty confident because your 5 year warranty doesn't cover normal wear and tear which I'm sure is what peeling and cracking will be categorised as.
DESKY’s Limited Warranty Policy does not apply or cover issues resulting from: Normal wear and tear
Why weren't you just upfront then?
==
Was keen until you called them bad boys.
Any details on the leather? Is this full grain, top grain, bonded, chrome-tanned, veg-tanned, automotive leather?
I noticed it's described as 'leather made' whatever that is, sounds suss though.
