Hey, I wanted to give this a 4.5 star review but since it won't allow me, I'll leave it at five because I think the quality of the product is great for the price. I would knock 1/2 star off because, well, if the pack just had 3 more tiles it would be perfect. So here's my spiel:
//*****Quality of product:
PRO - Soft, durable and attractive
CON - My pack, a few of the "tiles" looked to be worn down a little, I assume this is from the way they were packaged, this doesn't bother me so I'm not knocking any stars off.
//*****Size Of Product:
PRO - For my purposes, it's fine. For the price I get adequate coverage for my bench, and set of 2 dumbbells.
CON - For someone covering a gym floor, you'll need more than a few packs. The picture on this site makes no sense, it's of some comically undersized bench with 2.5 pound dumbbells, and to quote Back To the Future, reeks of some "...pretty mediocre photographic fakery."
Explanation:
Like others have said, and some I feel exaggeratedly so, you might want a second or third pack, depending on your intentions. I just have a simple Universal 5 position bench (which I love) and it barely fits. The legs of the bench go right up the edges. Not the edge of the product but (please I hope this makes sense) right up to the area where the solid portion of the mat ends and the jigsawed edges start. So it basically rests completely on the mat.
This is the bench I have:
Universal Five-Position Weight Bench
Bottom Line:
Gym equipment is expensive, and buying it on a budget can be near impossible. I'm not looking to turn into MR. Universe, or even Mr. Detroit for that matter. I just want some decent equipment to help me tone up, lose a few pounds and maintain a healthy body. This product is cost effective and good quality. I highly recommend it with the one caveat that you will most likely need 2 packs, though you may be able to live with just one, at this price, you won't.
