Not flat not clear
on June 23, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
This product isn't rigid like other chair mats. Instead it's flexible kind of like a thick vinyl. What that means is that it comes sort of rolled up and will probably never truly sit flat on the floor. After a week in my office it's still got noticeable bumps I have to roll around. Also it's not very clear like my other mat. It's got a hint of milky whiteness to it. Since I've got two mats side by side this one really stands out. And since I was buying this specifically to replace a mat that had discolored it's a real drag to have this thing be discolored from the start. Now I have to buy a new mat to replace my new mat. What a waste of money!

Staples® Flat Pile Carpet Chair Mat
on June 22, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
STAPLES FLAT PILE CARPET CHAIR MATS ARE VERY DURABLE AND STAND UP TO CONSTANT CHAIR MOVEMENTS ON THEM ALL DAY EVERY DAY. THE CLEAR TOUGH VINYL MATERIAL IS HARDLY NOTICEABLE AS IT ALLOWS THE COLOR OF THE CARPET TO SHINE THROUGH. THE EDGES ARE SMOOTH AND ROUNDED WHICH MAKES IT EASY TO ROLL AN OFFICE CHAIR PAST THE EDGE OF THE MAT IN CASE YOU NEED TO REACH SOMETHING JUST PAST THE MAT AREA. THE PRONGS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE MAT ARE POINTED JUST ENOUGH TO GRIP THE CARPET WITHOUT DAMAGING IT AND THEY REALLY HOLD THE MAT IN PLACE SO IT DOESN'T SLIDE AROUND. ALL IN ALL- A GREAT PRODUCT. WE HAVE BOUGHT MANY OF THESE MATS OVER THE 25 YEARS WE'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS!

Didn't last a Year

This item is cheaply made and comes folded. The folded crease is the first thing to fail and it brakes causing pieces to come out of the mat making it a trip hazard.

I find that this mat isn't nearly as good as the one that we bought about 8 years ago at Staples. It isn't as sturdy as my previous one. It is a lot thinner and leaves chair indentations when I use it. It is a disappointment the only reason I changed is because the other one had worn out really wish this one was as good as the last one. I would rather have paid more and gotten better quality. I did check all the ones they had out but none seemed to be as sturdy as my last one. Wishing in the future that they will carry a mat that is made better than the one I purchased.

Great mat
on June 19, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
This mat is exactly what I needed. This was purchased for my home office which has a very thick wool area rug under the desk. If I could have found one that was a little longer that would have been better... but this protects my rug where it has to be protected and allows my chair to roll smoothly. It stays in place and is almost transparent... ok you can tell it is there... but it isn't ugly or awful. So this is a great mat and a great purchase. Thanks Staples for stocking this mat. It has saved my area rug.

Seems good

Two years ago I bought a Staples low pile mat for my home use. It began to come apart this spring so I replaced it with this medium pile model primarily because it is thicker and will hopefully last longer. It seems to be a heaver duty productand has performed well so far. I guess time will tell how durable it will be. So far so good.

Floor Mat
on June 18, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I was skeptical; because we had an employee rearrange his office (linoleum tile flooring) and where his desk was the floor had not been cleaned stripped and polished - as the rest of the office was done several months ago. There was a HUGE difference in not just the appearance but also we couldn't get the dirt up from where his desk was. I was afraid the mat would not just cover the dirt it would grind it all into the floor making it impossible to ever get clean. Plus ruin the mat in the mean-time. However mat/dirt/floor.... all is well and holding up just fine. I'm quite impressed
