Looks good, feels good
By Doire
These are soft sufficient to cushion an affect to a falling child’s head, but firm sufficient to crawl/walk on without deforming completely. They are light, the finish is easy to wipe clean, and they look good. We have a hardware floor and got these in preference to anything crucial colored. While these are noticeably dissimilar to the hardwood floor, when you walk into the room they don’t jump out as gaudy. I’m very happy with the look, feel and finish of them. They fit together well, but not seamlessly.
We got 26 tiles for $40, which I feel is a good deal. I’m only giving this 4 stars rather than 5 because they don’t include the edging pieces, and charge an further and added fee for the edge and corner pieces of almost $5 each, which makes the edges three times more costly to buy than the other pieces that are much larger. Edging the 6×4 piece mat we made would cost more than 3 times the mat price, which is just silly. (It’s a question for their retail folks, but I doubt it relates to devising cost.) I’d also like to be capable to buy an extension pack of, say, 10 more tiles to make it a 6×6 piece mat, but alas, no such option seems to be available.
All in all it’s a good buy, and I’d commend them. I might even buy another finish set of 26 just to be capable to extend it. I won’t be buying the exorbitantly priced edges and corners though. I’d take a Stanley knife to the ones I have introductory and make a linear edge myself.
NOTE: These tiles smelled very strongly of VOCs when we received them, and we had to let them gas out for a few days to let the smell dissipate sufficient for us to use them anyplace near our child. 3 days was enough. Don’t suppose to use these without delay upon receipt.

PEELS and SMELLS
By Raelene Mercer
i purchased this matt and agree it looks great. but it stunk so much it gave me a headache just opening it up. I worry—–to trade this for a BABY seems cruel! i worry the fumes are toxic! i learned eva isnt toxic though, and used in numerous things like yoga mats and flip flops. so it may be the wood pattern printed on it? it genuinely is strong smelling! like a black marker in front of your nose.
anyway, after galore days airing out away from baby, we started out using it and loved it. but two months went by and each single piece begun peeling. the printed wood patter begain peeling off. a few squares were so bad no wood pattern remanied.
i know what you are thinking: return it and be done with it. but i forgot with regards to the horrid smell which had dissipated entirely, and i was addicted to the look of the mat, so i got a free substitute set. This substitute order is just as smelly as the last and i proceed to get a headache when i’m even near it. it’s been 4 days now.still airing it out. i think this is my last buy of these matts, if they peel i will return it and get a floor rug. who knows what is less toxic to our baby at this point.
someone needs to investigate what VOCs are making this mat stink so much more than most other matts. i am worried we are hurting our children and ourselves. all for fashion.

Natural foam Mat
By Wisconsin
Looks nice. Too highpriced if you buy the edging pieces. You will need an edge piece for each outer square of the mat — this adds up. Also, the edge pieces vary in fit and finish. The mat has a chemical smell that does not dissipate for a couple of months, even if you air it out outside. My child’s hair and clothes would smell like the mat after she’d played on it for awhile. The smell is suppose to be nontoxic, but it’s also suppose to dissipate in various days. This product is made in China. This mat is thicker than any others I found in the stores.
