“Three years in and it has not pilled, which is more than I can say for a cheaper felt mat I had before it. It is the one Balolo piece I would not re-buy at the landed price on its own.”
Shape, ergonomics and features TBD
The negatives, the positives, and the things nobody mentions in the listing. Coming from the owner after a longer stretch of use.
