Labels all but impossible to removeAnonymous reviewerCompletely agree with other reviews. IKEA did not have the user in mind when designing the addition of a super sticky set of labels onto such a delicate material. I wasted 30mins carefully scraping them off and could only get 90% off and also made minor damage to the cork. The sticker also leaves a gummy residue on the cork. For a design company this is not good design.3
This IKEA stick on labels!WeiyunCork mat is a nice and has just the right give on the desk. However, IKEA and many other companies really need to think about the quality and characteristics of their stick on labels on products. On the one I bought, it was extremely difficult to remove fully as the sticker delaminated and broke, meaning that I had to spend 20mins using my nail to scrape them off, all the time risking damage to the soft cork surface. Not worth the effort had I known it’s such a pain to get it prepared for use. So unfortunately had to give a middle score for the poorly thought through packaging.3

Functional desk protectionKevinLooks nice and protects the very thin cardboard surface of IKEA desks. I really like the feel, soft and slightly spongy. Makes writing on paper more comfortable. The edges have crumbled a little after a few years of use. Note it is heat sensitive and after using a laptop on it for a while the area bends up. Leave it to cool and it's flat again the next day. The product label is hard to remove, wish IKEA would make them out of vinyl so they are easier to remove.4

Good for its intended purposeMicaLost one star because I still can’t remove the product sticker4
Nice for the priceLauraThe cork mat itself is nice - however the sticker is really, really hard to remove, and despite being sold as a desk mat, it's not great as a mouse pad.4

Looks great, but not suitable as a desk matLaetitiaIt is absolutely gorgeous and adds a touch a much needed natural warmth to my dark desk.
However after just one day my daughter has managed to make a black mark while writing on a piece of paper on my desk. and there doesn't seem to be any way to wipe it off. Shame, as I really wanted to love it!
It's a great buy for adult-homes only. If you have children who like to use your work area, be prepared for it to start showing multiple marks which cannot be removed.2

Great add on to my deskMalikaI really like it. It’s a good addition to my desk being both useful to act as a nonskid and protect my desk from any scratches from laptop or writing.5

What more do you need?JonThere are other desk pads, but this works fine. Slightly more length would be great, but don't miss it either5
