I was expecting a lot more, from a mat manufactured in good ol’ Canada, that is pricy compared to other brands. As always, I was wanting to support a Canadian manufactured company. Upon opening this product, I was quick to notice that not all ridges in the mat are equal in depth, which is very noticeable and makes the mat look cheaply made. I don’t even want to use this in my living room, which is what I had planned for. I’d be interested in knowing if others have had this problem? Perhaps it may be an issue with only mine?
