Sticks But Doesn't Prevent Dents
on March 16, 2010

Helps with sliding over carpet but we are still getting dents where we sit on chairs on the product over time. We are not large people so I had hoped the mat would prevent the dents. Otherwise the product looks nice and definitely stays in place. It will also help keep spills off the carpet in the computer area so that is a bonus. Depending on what your goal for the product is it could be really good or it could be not so much so. Our goal was to prevent dents so...it fails.
My old mat was getting cracks so I thought it was time for a new one. It works great. I got a little bigger one to cover more carpet.As of right now it is holding up great.
Bought this for home office with very low-pile commercial grade carpeting. Even with that the mat is so thin that the wheels of the office chair (five of them) dent right into the surface so that moving the chair is not easy. With all that denting I don't expect it will last long. Now I know why other brands are so much more expensive.
We bought these for our home office that has a berber carpet. The wheels of the office chairs left indentations in the mat AND the carpet. I am exchanging them for something thicker.
My "office" chair would bog down on the carpet. I do a great deal of my day getting up & down and because the chair was hard to move it made it agravating. NOW with the MAT my chair slides like a hockey-puck on ice.
