Chair Mat a Little Soft
on September 14, 2009
Posted by: Paula K.
It bends easily so simple to handle and lay down. At the same time it's softer (more pliable) than it should be so indentations don't entirely spring back from chair casters even when first in use. That makes for a bumpy rolling surface over time. The one I replaced with this also Staples' cracked over time.
As it is thin chair wheels sink in at take a "set " which can make it initially hard to roll the chair. I suspect this will lead to it breaking down (they all do) faster needing earlier replacement. It is a nice size. The thicker (and more expensive) ones were much bigger.
Came rolled up so I could not use it for a couple of days. After that it worked fine however. I would recommend not using this on a hard wood floor though as it would scratch it. It is great for my carpeted floors though.
I'm using the chair mats in my sewing room which has berber carpet. I'm hoping these will hold up better than ones I've purchased in the past. The old ones cracked and chunks broke out of them after just a few months of use. These are really smooth and easy to clean and chairs roll really nice on them.
