It is made for hard floors but I find it does not stay put. In order for this to stay put on the hardwood you need to have some kind of backing or anti-slip material to keep the product from moving about. So if you are looking to have a mat that doesn't move this is not the product for hard wood floors. What I ended up doing is buying the matting that is used for area rugs and cut it to fit the mat. Now it does not slide. By doing this the Hard Floor Mat protects the floor and I get to keep gliding about the floor with my chair.
I found this chair mat for carpet to be adequate. What concerns me is that is sinks in where the rollers sit. I am wondering if it is going to last more than three or four months. For the price it seems to be okay. Not sure I would recommend this particular chair mat to others. However there are other mats there that are a bit more expensive and seems to be a little more hearty. I did find out that the rug mats have little spikes on the bottom so that they do not slide on the rug. The wood floor mats are smooth.
This chairmat is the perfect size for our needs. The carpet is practically flat and the grippers on this mat hold just the right amount. It makes it easy for our secretary to move between work areas without having to get out of her chair. The mat lays flat is not curling like the old one so it does not create a tripping hazard. I don't know if it will turn yellow and crack like to old one did but right now it is clear and very pliable. I don't think it will harm the carpet underneath and it definitely protects the carpet from the rollers on the chair. I would highly recommend this product.
I purchase all chair matts ink printers and towers from Staples. My last chair matt cracked in the center from where I sit so much at my office desk. It was the first one to crack on me. Once I figured out how to use my new printer I now enjoy it. My only problem with it is to delete the print that I just printed. So if I have to many showing in the system It ask me to save or delete. At that time I now can delete the previous page. The best thing I like about my printer is how easy it is to replace the ink. Pop one out and pop the new one in.
