Moved into new office and it has carpet. needed something big because i have a side table and need to move between that and desk. this serves the purpose.
I was 'advised' by a sales rep at Staples to get the MEDIUM pile chair mat...although it was more expensive than the LOW pile mat it would last longer on a medium pile carpet as the chair's wheels would not cause dents/dugouts/divots in the mat. Well either Staples sent the LOW pile version by mistake or the MEDIUM pile mat is an absolute waste of money. Why? Because within a day -- 2 at most -- dents/dugouts/divots started appearing on my chair mat!!! After less than a week it's already so bad that when I roll my chair on the mat the wheels slip into the dents/dugouts/divots on the mat that were supposed to be avoided by my having purchased the more expensive mat. Absolute WASTE of money!
It's the perfect size for the small space that it is used. Slides now and then but that is nit a problem for me. If it last 4 yrs like the prior one then that's a plus.
I recently had new carpeting installed and it was recommended that I put a mat under my chair to protect the carpet from wear and tear. I had looked at Staples way back and all they had were these really big ones that covered almost my entire floor. Well that wasn’t going to happen. So I was really pleased to see this smaller version. This one does the job and thankfully it’s a whole lot smaller. It did take me a day to get used to it but I’m very picky.
