{"title":"Leather Desk Mats","description":"\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eleather desk mat\u003c\/strong\u003e does two things at once: it protects your desk from scratches and spills, and it gives your keyboard, mouse and notebook a clean, defined space to work in. Compared with a plastic or cloth mat, a leather desk pad feels warmer under the wrists, looks better with every year of use and makes even a basic desk look finished. This page gathers our leather desk mats and desk pads as they become available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose a leather desk pad\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeather is soft enough to cushion the wrists and smooth enough for a mouse, so one mat replaces both a mouse pad and a desk protector. It absorbs small impacts from mugs and watch buckles, quiets the sound of typing and gives you a pleasant surface to write on. Over time, real leather darkens and develops a patina, while vinyl and PU surfaces tend to peel at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to look for in a leather desk mat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with the material description: genuine leather ages, faux leather does not. Then look at the edges and the underside. Finished or stitched edges resist curling, and a non-slip backing keeps the mat in place while you type. Finally, choose the size based on the area you actually use rather than the full desk. A black leather desk mat hides wear and suits a modern setup, while brown leather brings warmth to a wood desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat size do you need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eSize (approx.)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eCovers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eTrade-off\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 x 12 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKeyboard and mouse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall desks, laptop setups\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo room for writing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 x 15 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKeyboard, mouse and a notebook\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMost home offices\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeaves the desk edges exposed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 x 17 inches and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMost of a standard desk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge desks, dual monitors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHarder to move and store\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for a leather desk mat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust it weekly with a dry cloth and wipe spills right away.
