Dresses up an otherwise boring space

This is an attractive floor mat. I used to have the clear one but it cracked easily. This one does not crack. My chair wheels have scratched it up some but that is to be expected and it is better than cracking. I am surprised that I like the wood grain coloring. I didn't think I would but it does dress up the space a little bit and matches the other furniture in the office. My only complaint is that it does slide around on the carpet. I have thin carpet though and that may be the reason.
I am using this to protect my floor from pets that like to splash water everywhere. So far it is resistent to water and doesn't slide so it is really great if you want a pet solution! I also wanted something large enough to cover a lot of space.
When I bought the mat there were folds in it from what I assume from the original packaging. I was hoping the folds would flatten out. They may in time but who knows. I recommend the product if you can find it already nicely flat.
Got this for an elderly friend who uses it at her kitchen table. She has a rolling chair that was damaging her laminate floor. The pattern on this chair mat is similar to the pattern of her flooring so it blends well. It is not overly slippery so she does not have to worry about the chair slipping out from under her when she sits down or gets up. It works much better than having a rug under the chair. The mat has a tendency to slide around on the floor slightly but not so badly that it causes a problem.
I bought this to protect my son's floor from future soda spills. It protects the floor nicely and allows him to easily roll his desk chair over it. The dark color looks nice in the room and it's easy to clean. We've had one soda spill since buying it and it was a breeze to clean up the sticky residue. I have no idea how this will work in the long run but for the moment its just what we needed. The price was extremely reasonable and it was lightweight and easy to carry to my car. It also fit easily into my car.
