Reviews
The "Preis" pad has a lot of positive reviews due to its strength and durability. Someone buys it for a desk, someone for a nursery or kitchen. Everyone who has tried this accessory in the kitchen notes that the material is not resistant to high temperatures. This fact cannot but upset consumers.
Also, among the minuses, users noted small size of the product and the lack of similar options in alternative dimensions. Those who purchased the overlay for the children's table noted that the table always remains clean, and the overlay does not absorb paints and other stains.
It is also convenient for a computer desk, since there is no need to additionally buy a mouse pad.
According to reviews, the Skrutt model fully copes with its tasks, however, in the course of its use, consumers have identified many negative aspects. Firstly, many people note that the product slides on the surface of the table, and this can accidentally provoke objects to fall. Secondly, in the process of using the product, consumers noticed presence of an extraneous unpleasant odor, which, however, disappeared over time.
The appearance of the Risla model does not leave indifferent any consumer who loves austere laconic design. Users consider the product to be of high quality and practical, since it can be used not only to protect the table from mechanical or other types of influences, but also to hide existing damage. Unlike other models, this option is resistant to high temperatures.
The manufacturer has provided a secret pocket, for which most users are grateful to him. The disadvantages of buyers are the high cost of the product and the lack of a choice of its size. When using this option on a computer desk, the computer mouse "slips" and requires the purchase of an additional mat.
Reviews of the Patrol table corner attachments are generally good. The products are soft and really protect against impact, however, some consumers note that they do not hold well, while others say that it is quite difficult to remove the adhesive with which they are fixed from the tabletop. This greatly spoils her appearance.
Comparing all the pros and cons, users decided that the price of the product was clearly overpriced.
