Don't let it get hot in trunk of car
on September 21, 2010
Posted by: Paula K.
The mat was in the trunk of my car for about an hour while I continued to shop. When I got home it appeared to have melted and developed major creases and bumps. I had to lay it in the sun and stack weights on it to get the lumps and bumps to go down. It will never have a crisp and flat surface. I should have purchased the expensive heavy weight one.
When I sit for any length of time the wheels of my chair create deep impressions in the mat and my chair gets stuck. I weigh 170. I did not have this problem with a previous mat. When I am not using the mat the impressions do fade but never completely.
The staff person in the chair that's on this mat rolls from desk to file cabinet on the right and to the printer on her left; she needs coverage and this mat is wide enough to do it.
We've had the chairmat about two weeks. It is on berber carpet and has worked fine. We've had a couple of small indentations from the chair wheels but haven't had any problem rolling the chair.
Was a little thinner than I expected. The last one I had was thicker and bigger but that one was purchased about 10 yrs ago. So if this one lasts 5-7 yrs I would be happy! Good deal for the price. I was able to carry it right out of the store.
