Was not looking for and expensive mat but didn't want a cheap one that would fall apart quickly either. This one works well for a lower price point with good quality.
Chair Mat seems ‘one size’ smaller than I measured out at my desk. I’m 275 lbs and the wheels on chair do sink into the mat after working at desk for a few hours so need to stand in order to reposition chair. I am skeptical if the mat will prevent wear and tear on the carpet. This mat is thin plastic but durable. Hard rubber thicker ‘gym’ mat may be better for me. Price makes purchase worth a try.
Beware when ordering this. I have black tar on the bottom of it that I am afraid will get on my carpet so I had to put a piece of cardboard over it. Also it comes in a heap that you can't get straighten out. I have a big ripple right in the middle of it. Very disappointed in Staples that they don't roll the carpet mat up so this don't happen. This is a quite expensive item to be delivered in that condition.
This is a bit flimsy and doesn’t hold up well with rolling chairs. I find that as I roll I get resistance from the mat. This mat also moves often and I find I have to readjust it. It works pretty well with regular chairs.
The mat doesn't work well at all. I have a low pile commercial carpet and the plastic is so thin that the wheels have formed a rut in the mat. SO I doesn't allow me to move the chair around.
