I actually purchased this for the top of my daughters dressing table for sitting her games console on and is is a well made mat. The extra length is brilliant for this purpose and means that the console is staying put and it stops it sliding around so it's alot safer.
It is not only a good length but also a good thickness providing a cushioned suface for the console to sit on and also all the games and controllers.
Would recommend this for a variety of uses even on a breakfast bar for providing a non slip surface for plates, cups etc.
