Quick verdict
LiftEvidence editorial assessment
A 4 × 6 ft, 1/2 in solid rubber stall mat made in the US. Stall mats are the traditional garage-gym floor: dense, very hard-wearing and firm enough to stand and lift on, at a lower price per square foot than gym-branded rubber. Owners call them tire-tough and stable. They are heavy to move and cut, and odour reports are mixed. The rating is shared with other thicknesses on the same listing.
