I bought this as a christmas gift for my best friend who is a huge fan of Lord of the Rings. He loves it, but he's afraid of using it because it's just too beautiful.
Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
The printing in both detail and contrast on this deskpad is very impressive, it looks just as good as the product images. It makes for a nice pairing alongside MT3 Black Speech, especially with the Magma set.
I was using a similar sized Steelseries mat before getting this mat. It pairs great with my new Dwarvish keycaps that my girlfriend got for me, highly recommend for any LOTR fan, especially if you enjoy the black & red aesthetic of Barad-dur!
