Chair Mat

The chair mat is a replacement. The problem is that as it ages it cracks and big chunks break off from the middle of the mat where the chair wheels over it. Then I have to buy a new one. This takes about 2 years.
Every couple of years I need to replace my chair mat under my desk chair due to the constant use and work at home arrangement I have with my employer. Staples is the place I shop to order my mats. Delivery was quick (overnight!) and ordering online was easy. In fact I ordered two so that I would have one for my husband's office as well! Both mats are sturdy and will endure lots of wear. In 5 years I have only replaced my mat once. I gave it 4 stars only because the "spikes" on the mat could be a little longer to grip the carpet. But frankly I have been using this new one since Christmas and it works great!
This is a great mat to use over low pile carpet ... desk chair slides much easier over the smooth surface. I had tried the standard mat size in the past but it was not large enough to cover all the foot space under my desk. The 48" x 60" is the perfect fit. Would recommend that you have it delivered vs. pick-up in the store.
Good mat for the price. Does not last forever but for the price works well. Will need to replace in 4 years. Very satisfied with that considering price.
