It smells like oil and does not go away after 30 days of airing out. TERRIBLE QUALITY, FOR TRASH. It is advertised as having the highest standards, and it smells like oil, which from what I researched quickly indicates raw materials or poor processing during production. The smell of oil is often associated with residues of solvents or plasticizers that were not properly removed during the manufacturing process. Additionally, it may be due to thermal degradation of the material during production, which intensifies the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

THEREFORE, WHILE it is advertised as meeting the HIGHEST standards, the strong smell of oil proves the opposite. This raises serious questions about the quality of the product and the control processes before it reaches the consumer.

Two years ago, I bought THE SAME product FROM THE SAME COMPANY, and the experience was much better. The quality of the EVA then was clearly superior, with no unpleasant smell, which proves that quality can vary dramatically, even within the same type of product.

Excellent for home workouts, for weights, even for jumping rope on it. Indeed, it isolates the noise, doesn't smell, nice with gray and black sides. As I read in a review, it leaves a feeling of shininess on your feet when you walk barefoot and then on tiles, you feel like you're slipping. Personally, I bought it to put it on the hallway, in order to minimize any noise in the apartment below, as I read in a review. Unfortunately, it doesn't work because the entire hallway shakes on top of it and you feel like it's going to collapse and you'll fall down. It loses its stability.
