Chair Mat for my new carpet
on January 10, 2017
Posted by: Paula K.
This mat was essential for my home office after I had new carpet installed. The wheeled office chair just dug in to the pile of the carpet making it very difficult to roll when getting in or out from behind the desk. This mat allows the chair to roll and will not damage the carpet. The delivery was fast and free.
My chair sinks into the mat when you sit for awhile in one place more than I would expect (I only weigh about 160 pounds). The indentations do disappear after a while after the chair is moved. This isn't a big problem as long as the mat holds up well and doesn't crack (I've only had it about a week).
Its not for medium pile. I measured my carpet like the website suggested with the paper clip. It isnt a medium pile mat. I had a low pile mat that kept moving so I ordered a medium pile mat. The extensions that hold onto the carpet are shorter than my original low pile mat. This mat a bit heavier than my original moves just the same. Not worth the money.
Not much more to say. My working space is small just enough for this mat but I wanted to have peace of mind that I would not be damaging the floor when rolling with my chair. This mat definitely does the job. Moreover because of its transparency I forget it is there!
