Love this stuff
Color: Black, Size: 12" x 10'
I use a manual wheelchair and have some hand strength issues. This shelf liner is all over my home not just as lining to protect surfaces but cut in various shapes for everyday use.
The kitchen and bathroom have them for a little more grip to open bottles and containers. In the dining room, to put under plates or bowls, so that don't move around while I eat.
The living room has a small toolbox, which holds a number of different sizes and shapes for the tools and for items like cables, I'm connecting to entertainment devices. For this purpose alone, it's definitely cheaper than the Mercedes version of grip material Dycem, as well as each Disabled Catalog's version of stuff that's just like this shelf liner. It's also a far better quality item than Dollar stores. Additionally it works great as it's described.
SPECIFIC TO NAMED USE:
As shelf liner it does take a little time to flatten out and stay in place in drawers. I use it puffy side up, which creates small indentations from items with any serious weight—stereo equipment comes to mind. A lot of the indentations will hold to the item that created them. To leave the liner where it lays, I always slightly lift each corner/foot of the item on the liner and release the liner, before lifting the whole object up.
Imo the black looks better under devices on glass shelves.
Microfiber dusting cloths are used on the liner and seem to do a pretty good job. That's said, with a weekly normal dusting done — weighted items are dusted where they're reachable, light weight shelved items moved, dusted, and open areas of liner on shelves dusted.
PLUS once a month (1x) all items are moved thoroughly dusted and liners are "shaken out" and wiped down with a DAMP cloth. Shelf liner needs to be 100% dry, before putting it back on your shelves, especially before putting back electronics.
The wet cloths used here, have just enough moisture to remove any remaining dust after a liner shaking but it doesn't feels wet to the touch, after damp wiping.
But to err on the side of caution, the first shelf's liner and contents, are restored after the last shelf is done. Then each shelf subsequently follows.
Personally as someone disabled, I find it to be a great item that does two jobs well.
