Surprised

We needed to expand the area around my desk to allow my chair to roll from one project to another. Admittedly I was skeptical because these are very thin. However they seem to be holding up better than the thick ones we had before. Great product for the price.
I have had to replace many chair mats in the past. For the price this one appears to be a far greater value than some of the higher priced chair mats I had purchased in the past. It remains to be seen if it will last as long as the others I have bought.
We purchased two of the Laminate Chair Mats for Hard Floors. They work well on our laminate floors. They look very nice and are a good size for the areas we wanted to cover. The chairs roll smoothly. We've just received them but so far the quality seems excellent. We had two problems when they first arrived. They had a strong plastic odor. We had to let them just sit in another room for a few days and also placed them outside for a few hours before we put them down. Now there is no odor. The other issue was that there were two labels on the mats. One came off easily. The other has left a gray residue that we haven't been able to get off.
I have put off buying a floor mat for quite awhile. This one is almost what I want but it is exactly what I need. I would like for it to be a little thicker because the wheels of my chair indent it.
In my basement office the floor is covered with the puzzle looking foam cushions to add insulation. With a floor like that my chair just did not roll. The wood look veneer Matt works wonders to resolve this problem.
I don't know if I will ever manage to get these mats to lie flat. They have been stored improperly before sale for so long that they are deformed. If they had not been a really cheap sale purchase I would have taken them back.
