we're using these as temporary padding for our kids until we finish our basement. Will these hold up to having furniture (sectional) set on top of it?

I use my mats for daycare use. We have put furniture on them. I got them for the babies I take care of and of course that was perfect. Now we use them for anything and everything. They clean up great.

No they don't stack, the furniture held up great during the summer outside, I covered the cushions and will be storing everything in the basement for the winter - I am in the Northeast

we haven't had a chance to really lounge on them yet because it hasnt been warm enough but to me they seem pretty sturdy... putting it together took a long time but it wasn't hard or anything. I would say get some covers for them if they're going to sit out in the sun a lot- it's just a guess but i think they will fade and start to crack if the weather beats on them.

I wouldn't. They have a layer of neoprene foam on top that would likely be damaged. Also, the couch would probably move any time you sat down on it.

They r strong so if u drag them they might. U could glue fabric to protect.

I put mine on plywood (6-8 mos ago), so I can't say for sure. If memory serves me correctly, they were VERY sticky/tacky. Guessing you are talking about a flat, commercial feel carpet? I would guess they would stick, but if you are talking about very serious wear & movement by those on the squares (yoga class, day care etc), think I'd be pretty cautious....good luck!

The padding is almost like a hard tempur-pedic material, if you want to rest your arms on a hard surface these will do just fine. But they won't be sufficient for hard impact on hard floors.

They about 1/2 thick and they don't raise the furniture. I use to protect the carpet.

They are sturdy and look like they could hold the weight of that size TV. My concern would be over time would the speaker housing joints weaken to the point of cracking and splitting.

Yes and no. If you do not put too much weight in/on them, such as filling them up with books for a bookshelf or with support underneath. They are very sturdy, however, I do not think they were designed/reinforced for that and that they would wear out sooner rather than later.

I've used them (2 high) to prop up an old wooden desk for my husband who is in a wheelchair. They're strong enough to support solid wood for him to get his knees under.

Personally, I would not leave them permanently. Your sofa and lounge chairs will probably slip and slide during use. These pads are for moving furniture around on a hard surface.

Not very, needs a pad on top then it would be great. It's quite stiff however it is great looking and hasn't started to look frumpy from using it, looks like a regular mid modern piece of furniture you'd put in a den or family room

They are sticky and will stick to most things, that said... Thick padding may be a bit too flexible and as weight is put on a corner, it may cause the sticky side to come off. If the padding is firm and thin, it should work fine. Its very sticky, but dont re-position it once its down.

If you are adhering them to a very clean, flat surface, they should hold up okay. My concern, as you said, is if they get wet. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in them if they DO get wet as they're not really made for that. You could always use epoxy or a small screw to adhere them to the surface and that would likely rectify the issue of them potentially getting wet. Check your local home depot or lowe's, they probably have something better for your application than this.

They *could* slide depending on the smoothness of the surface and what you are using them for. We have about 50 pieces interlocked together covering our exercise area. 2 sides are against basement walls which seems to nicely hold them in place.

I assume after you replace pads, they may not stay in as well as you may have to utilize the same hole (depending how wide is the leg). You can always add some glue. Personally I don't have any problems with them yet. I have put them on a year ago and still look like new. Please note that I am using furniture on wood floors and there is not opportunity to drag furniture against carpets, etc... which put additional friction and may rip them off.
