This chairmat does not match the slightly smaller"standard" chairmat that I bought at Staples. It works. I do like the size but it's not smooth. The chair doesn't glide very easily makes a rumbling noise and when I'm barefoot the texture is like walking on concrete. It's also not as translucent as the "Standard" chairmat which means it is more visible on the nice hardwood floors. And as stated in the description it's square and it has a "cliff edge" which means it doesn't have the nice taper region on the "standard" mat. That makes more of a difference than I thought.
I have 6 of these in my office and 5 cracked after 2 years of use. They have a limited lifetime warranty so I called Staples and was given the manufactuers contact info. I filed a cliam online and had 5 new mats in my office within 10 days!!! They didn't even charge me shipping!
After several years my old mat had hardened and was breaking apart. I chose this one over the name brand because the quality appeared to be the same but the price was significantly lower.
We ordered several for our business a few months ago and have been satisfied with them so we just ordered 4 more. Will have to wait to see if they prove to have longevity.
I use this under my birdcage and while it is very easy to clean the plastic indented underneath the legs of the cage. I was hoping with the thickness advertised it would not warp. I would not recommend this product for someone who is heavier.
