STAPLES MED PILE CARPET CHAIR MAT

I AM RATING THIS CHAIR MAT LOW CAUSE ITS NOT THICK ENOUGH TO PREVENT DIPPING WHERE YOUR CHAIR SITS EVERY DAY ITS DEVELUPING RUTS WHERE THE CHAIR SITS AND THESE RUTS PREVENT ME FROM MOVING MY CHAIR WHEN I AM SITTING IN IT
We needed something on top of our carpet where computer and desk sets. The constant wear and tear in the area was staining and ruining the carpet and sliding desk chair was hard to scoot about on. The mat has fixed all of this. Wish we had found this sooner!
I bought this chairmat because it was advertised to protect my carpet and would be easy to roll on. I bought the smallest size so it would fit under the desk and a little ways behind the chair for good coverage. It does not lay flat on the carpet and I have sturdy very short pile carpet. Also the chair wheels do not roll on it. Instead they make grooves in the plastic and I have to physically get out of the chair and move it to where I want to sit each time I need to resituate. This chair mat is better used on probably tile or wood floors but definitely not carpet.
I purchased to use in my home office to protect the carpet as I slide my chair away from the desk. The shape and size work well providing a good fit for the "tongue" under the desk and a large protected area under the chair. The material is translucent plastic which is highly durable and let's the carpet color to show through. The bottom has little "spikes" that keep the mat anchored securely to the carpet. This is a well made product that serves it's utilitarian purpose well. I am fully satisfied with the product
