Aothia Leather Desk Mat (31.5″ x 15.7″)
$11 (was $17)
Aothia’s desk mats are made of waterproof leatherette (PU leather) with a suede backing designed to prevent it from moving when you’re working at your desk. It protects your desk from scratches, smudges, and spills while offering a smooth surface for your mouse to glide across. It has plenty of space for your keyboard and other items in your workspace.
Beyond its utility, a desk mat of this size is a good way to pull together a desktop–instead of all your accessories floating around haphazardly, it helps give some shape to an otherwise amorphous space.
If you want even more space, a few other dimensions are on sale, including 36- and 48-inch models. The 36 x 17-inch model only costs an extra $1.60. The cost spikes to $19.89 for the 48-inch version, but this one is large enough to cover the entire surface on many desks. Note that pricing can vary slightly by color.
