Not suitable for many residential carpets or medium or thicker commercial carpets. 2" double-wheel castors dent the surface. That's fine if you don't want your chair to roll around. (??)
Got this new floor mat for my office chair at Staples. It was easy to find great price and just the thing to not have things underfoot! Sales representative was very helpful. An easy buy!
This pad is too thin. The chair wheels sink into it making it difficult to move the chair around as I work.

Good for the Price

I would've gone for the more heavy duty chair mat but I didn't want to pay over $70 bucks for one so I opted for this one. It gets the job done as far as protecting your carpet. However if you plan on being at our desk quite a bit I would go for the heavy duty ones. After sitting in the chair for 5 minutes the wheels of the chair start to make an indention which prevents smooth rolling. You kind of have to sit up a bit just to move the chair. It doesn't do what I purchased it for which was to be able to roll around with ease however it does stay in place when you actually are trying to force your chair to move. I'm only 4'11" and the indention into the mat from my small frame is annoying enough. Imagine what it would be like for someone who weighs more than me. And my carpet really doesn't need protecting since I'm changing it anyways...

Good Mat for the money

This is a great regular use office chair mat. It was the most inexpensive one that I could find and since I hate spending money on stuff like this it was a good buy. I have only had it for a few weeks but it appears that it will hold up just fine. I did have a bit of a problem with shipping of the items. I ordered 3 and received only 2 of them and one of the 2 had the corner all splintered and cracked. I called to see what had happened to the 3rd one and what to do with the cracked one and they immediately made arrangements to replace the cracked one and get the 3rd one here the next day. I am sure that the -30 degree temps we were having at the time was the reason for the damaged one. Regardless they remedied the situation by the next day.

Too small and too thin

I put this on my wool rug and my chair instantly dented it. I don't recommend!
Since I have been working from home since March I discovered a wear in our carpet from our office chair. Bought this to keep the rug from being ruined. Perfect fit in the area I am using.
