Flexes under chair wheels. Improvement?
on August 2, 2016
Posted by: Paula K.
This chair mat flexes under the weight of a chair's wheels so an occupied chair stays in place unless given a definite scoot. It's soft enough to be rolled up so it's easy for one person to wrangle it into place especially since its gripping side has a pattern of alternating little rectangular cleats instead of pointy spikes. Grips carpet well. Five stars for home office/dorm use.
My office chair sinks into this mat as if it was made for thinner carpets. The cleats on the back of the mat might be made for thinner carpets. The mat seems to be well made and is comfortable on your feet.
The mat apparently wasn't laid flat in the deliver truck since the sides were not flush with the carpet when we first put it down. We tripped over it several times but it seems to be doing better now. We still do not like it as well as the first one we purchased at Staples four years ago. Hopefully the slight bends on the edges will flatten out eventually.
