The adhesive sticker that is on the mat is not able to be removed easily. I put that section under the desk so I didn't have to spend time trying to remove it in its entirety.
Since I spend several hours every day on the computer I appreciate the ease that I can now move around in my office chair thanks to the great floor mat!
This mat fits perfectly under my home office desk and my chair rolls easily on the surface. It stays in place no matter what size person is sitting at the desk. It has a nice finish wipes clean with a damp cloth. I would buy the same again.
We have glued down very thin carpeting in our office and the glue had given away causing ripples in the carpet. I thought the .85 mil might be too flimsy but was pleasantly surprised. These mats are surprising adequate for our use. We've just had them a couple of weeks so only time will tell if they will discolor with age.
It's not thick enough for plush carpet. No really--it isn't. Chair leaves big dents in the mat. What pushed me over the edge to write this was that I saw a 45x53 E.S. Robbins mat at the local C0stc0 today for nearly half what this one is going for! That one was rated for 3/4 inch carpet but looked every bit as thick as this Staples one and had a lifetime no-crack warranty. Next time I'll shop around more.
Might as well get some card board and stick under your chair because that is exactly how flimsy this piece of junk is. The ad said it was for 3/4" carpet yea right. Within 30 seconds the rollers on the chair indent it so you can't roll.
