Does the mat material come off and get stuck on hard wood floors ie. some "melting" of the rubber material onto the wood floor, after using the elliptical which may heat up during exercise.

I am sorry I cannot help you as my mat is on carpet. If you find out the answer let me know as we are about to replace the area's carpet with wood flooring.

I have had no problems with my carpeting which is where I have the pad with elliptical on it. Easy to clean.

Hi KT, I have the desk on hardwood floors and haven't had any problems. The desk stays pretty stationary and isn't a problem and I'm careful about how I move the chair in and out. I imagine I could find some pad or another protective cover for the chair legs but I haven't had a need to do so. Hope this helps. The desk has worked out really well for me ... I have a small space and just needed something to keep organized. I also have pulled together the wrought iron look in other areas of the room so this desk fit in quite nicely.

I have not used it in that way, but would suspect that it might be a problem with some sliding. The bottom surface of the mat is very smooth and I can slide my exercise cycle around on the carpet by grabbing the edges of the mat. A concrete surface might give it more stability, but with the jumping I think it might slide.

My floor is wooden and the mat services me perfectly. I was able to put a large, heavy weights machine on it with no problems and I'm very satisfied.

Probably not. The mat is heavy duty and very solid with very little "give". My elliptical doesn't wobble and is also silent when i am using it. So my experience may not be helpful! Sharon

I use it on hardwood floors with no problems. The rubber on the legs protect it. I have been using it for about 6 months faithfully.

The mat does not slip or slide on the hickory hardwood floor. I wouldn't call it sticky at all.

mine is on the carpet, but due to the material this is made out of and how it feels i cannit see this sliding at all on concrete. this is a 75 pound thick rubber mat that is course at the feel which gives this traction to stick. this is not a smooth plastic layer yoga mat that would slide around on smooth surface. Just imagine placing 75 pounds on the floor and trying to move it around now add sticking rough surface like this mat is and you have one sturdy floor mat. hope this helps you.

Yes the mat will stick well to the floor, it's not sticky on top, but with multiple uses, once it is broken in it will develop traction:)

My mat is under my elliptical and the flooring is carpet. The mat is heavy duty and very firm. I believe it would wear very well, lie flat and work well under a desk. Since I don't have laminate or wood flooring under it I don't know if the mat would put marks on hard surfaces.

I place mine on very light hard wood floors and there is 0 residue on the floor. I tried dragging the mat on the floor once and that left a skid mark but just rolling it out and back up again leaves no marks on the floor.

I am 290 and I use it about 20 minute a day not very hard. It seems like a really sturdy machine. Its not as sturdy as the industrial machine at the gym nor does it glide as smoothly as the one at the gym. Been using it for only 2 weeks so far no problems. I have had problems with elliptical machines in the past, it was because I was using them on carpet with a few boards underneath it the machine rocked back and forth and I think that is why none of my previous machines lasted long. Put in on a level hard surface if you can and make sure you adjust it the best you can I am sure the machine will be fine for you. I am 290 and I use it about 20 minute a day not very hard.

Do you use it on the mat or are you trying to just put it in the machine. If you are using the mat it should stick on the mat and you should not have a problem

That happens sometimes on this mat. I have sprayed the mat so that doesn't happen. Sometimes I forget my spray and have my water bottle. I will wet my hands and the mat a bit to prevent slipping which usually occurs during dry cool beginnings. Once there is moisture, no matter how much, I am stuck to this mat like a fly on sticky tape. lol. Hope it helps ;)

It is just a tad bit longer as the one I got, but uses the same size risers. Nothing on the bottom, I use mine on carpet and never had a issue. If you use on hardwood floors I suggest using the same mats as exercise equipment

I purchased the mat to protect my hardwood floors. I haven't noticed any vibrations or noise as a result of my treadmill. That may be due to the fact that I have a brand new treadmill.
