Excellent product. Service could be better.
I have been using the smooth texture 1 1/4" flexi-roll with flexi-connect (the velcro system) for about ten months, and I couldn't be happier with the product. The velcro system keeps the mats together flawlessly, completely eliminating the need for tape. For the first six or seven months, I was even rolling the mats out for every class, and never had to redo the seams. The surface has proven extremely durable, with no cracks or tears and virtually no visible signs of wear. (I do take really good care of them.) I have also been using the Dollamur mat cleaner concentrate. It isn't cheap, but it goes a long way: I'm getting close to the end of my first gallon after ~150 cleanings of ~500sf. These mats are expensive - around $5.25/sf - but that's not significantly higher than the industry standard for comparable products. They also take a long time to produce and ship (mine took about a month to arrive), but again, that seems to be pretty standard. My only minor complaint was that the sales rep could have been more polite and friendly. My order may have been small potatoes for them, but it sure wasn't for me, and a friendlier phone experience would have gone a long way to making me feel warm and fuzzy about my purchase.
