As a lot of people I am currently working from home. My home office space is carpeted and small so I needed a mat that would fit both needs. This one does that perfectly. There was not a lot of odor from the mat which was one of my concerns and whatever was there quickly dissipated within a day or so. The only other thing I'd like to mention is that it comes rolled up in a box so it does have to sit for a short time with a little bit of weight on it. But that also was corrected within a day. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this mat again. Thanks so much for the quick home delivery as promised!
I feel like this mat would work great on a low carpet. Perhaps I didn't read the description thoroughly. I am working from home in my apartment and the carpet is average. So because there's a cushion when I sit on my chair it has started to make indentations on the mat. But overall it's protecting the carpet from the wheels so I cannot complain anymore. Next time I'll look into a thicker mat for this carpet.
I had ordered one of these from another vendor it was rolled so tight took me an hour to "kind of" straighten it out and only then did I find out the casters on my chair would not roll across it. This chair mat was PERFECT! Shipped to me flat and after a quick wipe down fit worked and looked perfect. Should have checked Staples first but never had anything shipped from them before and was a bit hesitant. This worked out great. Thank You.
Should have listened to a couple other reviews- it comes in a roll sealed with tape that’s next to impossible to remove without leaving a sticky area the size of the tape. We spent about 30 minutes trying to remove the stickiness with “Goof-Off” and nail polish remover to no avail. Some of the stuff came off but the basic gunk stayed behind. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great mat and is exactly as advertised but the sticky issue kinda kills the benefits. I’d give it four stars based on the product but less because of the glue residue issue. The manufacturer ought to pay attention to the problem as its serious and brought up several times by others.
