This was in stock in the store and came flat so we didn't have to struggle to unroll it. There were a few size choices and thickness. Store price was competitive with other online offerings. It is somewhat think so I don't expect it to last for many years but for price it is fulfilling our needs.
I was just so excited about this mat I immediately went out and celebrated. We had dinner and went to a movie as part of the celebration. Then we all came back and stood around the mat looking at it saying what a bautiful piece it was and how fantastic it was that a company could manufactuire some thing of this great quality. Afterwards as part of the celebration I donated to the woke crowd to keep them happy. I was afraid that my exuberance would upset them if it was not part of their agenda. Thahks for asking. It has certainly been an experieince.I wish everybody could enjoy this moment.
Set up the mat in my home office put the chair on the mat. Hadn't even sat in the chair on the mat and there were already dents in the mat. Dents just make it harder to roll around in the chair
I first bought one of the chair mats for "medium" pile. I had actually measured by using a straightened paper clip and my carpet pile plus pad was exactly 3/4 inch thick as they specified... but my chair left dents in the plastic and I'm only 180 pounds. So... I returned it (Staples is very good about that) and ordered this heavier one (that they call 'high' for up to 1 inch thick carpet/pad combination). It is definitely the better choice. Move up a thickness compared to the basic rating and you'll be happier with your purchase!
My old floor chair mat wore out. It was a pain trying to move my chair from place to place. This new one is thicker so the chair slides more easily and doesn't create "craters" in the mat due to my weight or the carpeting. Very smart move and love this mat. I easily replaced the old one by changing how I aligned this with my desk and I'm glad. Now I have wider movement easier slide and better access to my needs. I recommend this mat to anyone with a medium pile carpet who spends a lot of time at your desk.
