I used these in the basement over painted floors to get me off the cold concrete and keep wood furniture off it in case moisture wicks up. These work great for that purpose. They are strong, don’t hurt my feet when I wear only socks, and easy to install. They also did not have a strong chemical or rubber smell like some similar products. I put a rug over it in a few places but otherwise it works just fine as a man cave/office floor option in a partially finished basement.
