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.
ARRIVED VERY FAST. QUALITY OF MATERIAL IS GOOD. DID NOT STAY IN PLACE AS THE CHAIR ROLLED BACK N FORTH. WAS RETURNED FOR REFUND. NO PROBLEM THERE. WOULD RECOMMEND NOT BUYING IF YOU WANT TO US IT ON LOW PILE CARPET.
This chair mat is big enough to let me easily move from printer to computer to file so I'm happy. Only complaint is that in shipping it got rolled so tightly it took 10 days to get it to flatten enough to put my office chair on the mat.
