I felt that I needed a small mat on the carpet in the bedroom where my computer is located so the carpet would not get worn out. I am very satisfied with the little mat that I purchased and would hightly recommend this size in smaller areas.
This product is under my office chair (a high backed task chair)at my computer desk on laminate flooring. It stays put and allows for some control over chair movement (i.e. chair doesn't 'take off' or slide as it does on laminate floor.)
I am very pleased with this purchase. It looks good and is functional. Finally I found something reasonably priced to save the carpet at my desk! It is a lot less expensive to replace a chair mat then a whole carpet in a room. The clear color makes the area look attractive and blends in so much better in the whole scheme of things. The variety of sizes you have available are also appreciated. Staple's internet description and pictures of this product are accurate and true to the facts. Karl Freundt
