A simple, quality leather desk pad is the foundation upon which great offices are built. Leather has always been the writing pad of choice throughout history because it has "bounce," and Saddleback Leather Co.'s full-grain leather desk pads have a slight bit of high-density Neoprene beneath the leather to give it a raised look and just the right amount of bounce. The bottom is lined with suede to protect the surface of the desk and to keep it from sliding.
