I recently used Smart Squares Carpet Tiles for a small patch job in a high-traffic area of my home, and I have to say, they delivered exactly what I needed. These tiles are a convenient, user-friendly option for anyone looking to do quick repairs or upgrades without the hassle of hiring a professional.Installation is where these tiles really shine. The peel-and-stick backing makes it incredibly easy to place and align them, even if you’re not particularly handy. No glue, no extra tools—just peel, stick, and press down. The adhesive feels strong and secure, and the tiles stayed firmly in place once installed.What I liked most was that the tiles blended surprisingly well with my existing carpet, even though it wasn’t a perfect match. For small areas or patchwork, this is a solid solution. The pile is soft but durable, and they hold up well under foot traffic.The only downside I encountered was during trimming. Getting a clean, straight cut was trickier than expected—even with a fresh utility blade. The backing is dense enough that it takes a bit of effort to slice through evenly, especially for tight or detailed cuts. Not a deal-breaker, but something to keep in mind if your space requires a lot of customization.Overall, Smart Squares are a practical, cost-effective choice for small fixes or even larger DIY carpet projects. If you're looking for a quick, decent-looking carpet solution that doesn't break the bank, this is a great option—as long as you’re ready to be a bit patient with cutting.

Good price for the money!

I bought these to apply to my tile floor because our dog is getting old and slides in the floor. I decided to move them to another spot but the adhesive stuck to the floor and I had to scrub it off (it’s already pre-applied). Also, the carpet fibers kept coming out, and there were plastic strings peeling off the sides and I was afraid my cats would choke on them. They should have a silicone backing like the ones on my steps. You can remove them to clean underneath, and then put them back. These are not like that. Once you apply them, you cannot move them unless uou want a big mess on your hands, and then you can’t reuse them.

After ordering samples and deciding on a color, I returned the samples and ordered several boxes of the carpet. My first impression was that the padding for the actual product was thinner than the sample that was sent. Since I already had returned the samples, I had nothing to compare it to so this is speculation.The adhesive is applied in a grid and seems subpar. As with other reviews, I used spray adhesive in addition which increased the adhesions to a level that I was satisfied with.Finally, despite installing the carpet tiles per carefully following the directions, I can tell where the seams are.That said, I installed the carpet for approximately 1/4 of the estimated price of a professional installion of a similar style carpet. As it's installed in a basement rec room, I believe it suits it's intended purpose.

I purchased these carpet tiles for an upstairs hallway. Besides going around the stairwell, I had 4 doorways to deal with, but these were so easy to put down! I found the best way to cut them was to mark the bottom and use a metal straight edge and sharp box cutter. It made a nice, clean cut.They adhere very well. When laying the tiles next to each other, I found it worked best to slightly pull up the edge of the one that was already installed and then press the two down together. This kept the carpet fibers from getting caught in between or underneath the two tiles, and therefore I cannot see any lines.The only thing I might recommend is to order one or two boxes more than you think you will need. When I measured, I measured the whole room and ordered the amount I should have needed for that area. I did not deduct anything for the stairwell, which is about a 35" x 80" area. With that large of an area where no carpet was needed, I figured I would have enough carpet left over to put in the small 24" x 40" closet, but I used every last square for the hallway floor and all I have left are a bunch of narrow strips from around the edges. Nothing I can use in the closet.I have put down carpet in rooms before. I would say it is more time consuming to put down the tiles than a full carpet, but it was a lot easier than wrestling with a large piece of carpet when I'm all by myself. And much easier dealing with 18 inches than with 8 feet (or 18) feet when the walls are not square!Overall, I am very happy with these tiles and would definitely order them again if I had any more carpeting to do.

Squares were received on time in new condition. Installed in a family room. Like the cushioning very much. Room much improved.
