the chair mat fit perfectly into place and has little pieces on the carpet side that keep it from sliding when the wheels from the chair roll over it. exactly what we needed
I love these Flat Pile Carpet Chair Mats that Staples sells because they last a long time and they protect the carpet and make the chairs glide in back and forth from my desk much easier.
I have had this mat for a couple weeks now and it is doing quite well so far. I like the fact that it does not have the sharp pointy spikes on the bottom but rather the flatter jagged edges. I have it on a thicker style wool rug and it stays in place nicely and also does seem to stay pretty rigid after sitting in my chair for a long time.
I am not completely happy with this product. The wheels on my desk chair leave deep indentations and that makes it difficult to move the chair. I previously had one of these mats when I was working and I remember it being somewhat thicker more like a tile of plastic. When I move the chair I have to get up off it and the dents remain in the plastic long after I have relocated the chair. Twice this thickness would maybe be better. This is too soft. I have this over a rug and feel it is not what I previously had in my work. I would only recommend this for placement on a hard surface.
This floor mat changed my life. My general outlook has drastically improved now that I can roll my computer chair easily with the confines of said mat.
