Great alternative to buying an expensive rug to put under the office chair in our home office. The color blends pretty well with our floors and its not really noticeable.
I recently redid the hardwood floor in my office sanding and resurfacing it along with several coats of protectant. Previously my office chair had marred the floor so I bought a chair mat from Staples to protect the newly surfaced floor. The mat's bottom side is not non-skid so every time I sit in the chair the mat slides a little. It's getting old fast. I'm learning not to sit down too fast but I guess I will have to buy something to put down to keep the mat from sliding. I'm reluctant to do that since those non-skid pads tend to be rubber-based which may also damage the floor.
slides too much. when putting a chair mat on hardwood floors it needs to have some sort of gripping element on the back of it so it doesn't slide constantly.
Have oak hardwood floors had not been able to find something until now. Color is slightly darker than floor but blends nicely. Mat slides slightly but is limited by legs of desk. Thankfully no nubs on bottom to ruin the wood floor
We have had a rubber floor mat and plastic floor mats and by far this one has been the best. It's easy to maneuver around on and is very sturdy. It is also very fashionable and looks great in my office with our cherry wood desk and book shelf. This floor mat has been the best over the rubber mat and the plastic mat that I had to replace after a short period of time. I'm satisfied!
This is a great mat. We had to replace the ones that were textured clear as we went from a carpeted floor to a hard floor and it is a big improvement over the others! It looks perfect on out light wood laminate floor as well. The only issue I have with them is that they come with lots of waves and ruts in them so we put it down under the old mat for a couple weeks to work out all of the waves and now it is much better. Remember to purchase the proper mat for hard floors versus carpeted floors as it can make a difference in how your chair moves or wheels shred or not!
I purchased this mat for personal use. I use this mat in my home office on a hardwood floor. I use it vertically and it fits perfectly between the legs of the desk. It extends half way under the desk and allows plenty of room behind the chair. There is plenty of room for my feet to be on it underneath and plenty of room for my roller chair to always be on it too. With this mat I can roll the chair around with ease. The thickness is perfect allowing for a smooth transition from mat to floor and back. Not only am I a fan of this mat the cat and dog love to lay on it too.
