The chair mat was fine it was the shipping label affixed directly to the mat that was the problem. It was a mighty struggle with lots of scraping and effort to remove it. Despite all a sticky residue remains. One would think Staples would have better sense than to put the label right on something that is going to be seen and used.

I purchased this product for my home office to protect the wood flooring from the damage caused by my computer chair. I purchased this because it was the only mat suitable for hard flooring surface in stock at the time. This is a Staples-branded product and it is really obvious that corners were cut to reduce the cost. This is what I noticed relative to the last floormat that I had: - thickness: not thck enough. Should be thick enough to be able to support a bevel at the edges should you accidentally roll off the mat - size: the mat isn't quite big enough - it should be about 6" wider and longer - moves on the floor: the mat has a slight pattern on both sides of the mat. While this simplifies manufacturing the side facing the floor should be completely smooth otherwise the mat "walks". I rated this product TWO STARS because it is ADEQUATE for a budget shopper. I would not recommend it to a friend - spend a little more and get a larger thicker mat that won't move on the floor.

i ignored the reviews about the mat sliding and i regret it now. it's getting on my nerves. the mat continually slides forward when i scoot my chair forward. now the mat is permanently warped/bent from having repeatedly clashing with the base of my desk. i cannot flatten it out. i might have to just take a scissors and cut out this warped area. i had another similar mat for 10 years and it NEVER did this.
