Horrible If You Plan to ACTUALLY WORKOUT
These might be ok for light use or placing some equipment on. However, they are advertised for Exercise, MMA, Gymnastics and Home Gym flooring. They claim to be interlocking so they won't come apart easily, and "exceptional resilience allow you to keep your balance during any exercise style". That is a patently false claim. I assembled these yesterday, actually my kids did it and had fun. So they are easy to assemble. Although not all edge pieces lined up so there are a few tiles that have overlapping edges. Not great but no big deal. After assembly I wiped them down and they were easy to clean as well. Sitting on the pads was ok, just don't move around too much. This morning I went out to get my first workout in on the new home gym and the first burpee I attempted an entire section of three pads ripped off the rest of the mat sending me to the floor. I reassembled and tried again. This time both the front and back sections separated. It appears that any amount of pressure exerted against the "puzzle locking system" causes the pads to come apart making it virtually useless for an actual workout. These will definitely be going back in favor of a large single mat or rollout gym flooring. If you are buying these to let the kids play on or plan on standing in one spot while you work out this might be a nice cost-effective solution. If you plan to actually work out like me, then take a HARD PASS on this product.
