How flexible is flexible? The room I game in has uneven floorboards. I'd be worried that a glass mat, tempered or otherwise, would immediately shatter on anything other than a perfectly flat surface.

That's the reason I didn't buy one and made my own. Get a thicker piece of plywood in the size you want, get a box of stick on tiles, and get some decent trim to hide the edges of the plywood and you're set.

Huh, that's a clever idea. Neat!

Let's just say the tempered glass is rated for 1000lbs? Assuming the product description isn't exaggerated.

I bought it when I was a big dude weighing around 334 before I lost about a 1/3rd of that.

I have carpet floors but are on a slight slant. Unless you have a bump I assume you should be okay.

Edit: here is what I bought in the larger size: https://a.co/d/gP83Nab
