Not my favorite but beats clear plastic

I purchased this from my home office as I had a nice throw rug but it was always a mess from the chair rolling over it. The bamboo mat needed to be turned upside down to straighten before use which was fine. It does however still slide around on the carpet and I keep having to move the mat back away from getting pushed against cupboards to the side of the mat. The mat scoots with the movement of the chair on it. It has a fairly nice appearance but I wish it gripped the rug better as the bottom of it is smooth. Probably the ugly clear plastic with grippers might work better but wanted some aesthetics which this provides.
OK grade. It slides across the floor. It is easy to set up but it does not stay flat for some time. I needed to put weights on four corners of the mat. It also moves around and slides along the floor. Perhaps the manufactures should sell an anti-slide mat or make the back side slide resistant. The price I paid for this mat was average range. I also used the mat on a carpet but it still slides. The color of light wood grain was nice on the wooden floor - I improvised to stop sliding by using a sticky non-slide mat for regular carpet.
I needed a chair mat because my wooden floor was getting marred from the chair rollers. I order the wood grain mat from Staples and it is perfect as was the prompt delivery. I am sorry I didn't order the mat sooner for it gives me peace of mind knowing my floor is getting chewed up. I highly recommend this item.
