Great Price & Product

I just got this and it is great for what we needed in our home office. It really protects the carpet well and looks sharp/low profile/clear. I don't know if it will fade or turn yellow in the long run because it is new and I have had it only a few weeks. You can't beat the price[...]so I didn't even have to waste time by walking in a Staples store to buy it or know if this was the best local price with free shipping which it was. Overall great product!
I'm very satisfied with the product for what I purchased it for. My only complaint (and a big complaint) . . . . when I removed the sticker on the pad the pad remained sticky and attracts all dust and dirt. I've tried cleaning it with Ajax and with Lysol kitchen cleaner. So one large corner of the pad is dirty and discolored. I don't know why they have to use that particular type of sticker.
Mat was shipped coiled up inside a box and it took about a week of sitting on the floor with weights placed over the major bends to get it to flatten out. I had expected to see long "spikes" on the bottom of the mat to penetrate the 3/4 inch thickness of carpet plus pad and help provide support. I'm hoping that the mat is thick enough to provide that support without the longer spikes but that will take a while to see. Based on defletion at each chair roller with only about a weeks use I have my doubts. I reallly don't want to have to invoke the warranty!
The floor mats came in with severe bends that would not come out. The factory stuck stickers all over the mats that are almost imposible to get off. Not a good product at all.
