Desk Chair Mat

It's called "Low Pile" but the mat actually says for Berber. It is a little soft so after sitting in the same spot for a while you sink in just a bit and have to overcome the depression to move. Lifetime warranty so that's good.
Mat was the right size for the area under my U-shaped desk. Seems to be working so far without any cracking or sagging but I've only had it for a couple of weeks.
I purchased this mat because we had changed flooring from carpet to laminate and I did not want the wheels on my desk chair to scratch new flooring. I ordered the 36" X 48" and it fits perfectly under the desk with enough room for me to back up the chair. A lot of people have said that these are slippery once the chair is on it it does not move. I like the fact that it is clear so that my new floor can be seen thru it. Every so often I will pick up mat and wipe it down on both sides just to keep it free from any possible grit that may collect. This was a great purchase extremely fast shipping and it was ready to lay when it arrived. Thank you Staples for offering this mat at such a great price :)
The mat I had before I purchased this one was very old and cracked. This mat is a little smaller because my office is smaller but my chair slides beautifully on it and it is just what I was looking for!
This mat is much to thin for high pile carpets. An office chair with five casters severly indents the mat even on lower pile carpets. That leads to a short life for the mat. Wouldn't buy again.
