OK Chair mat - terrible packaging

This mat is not very thick - it is fine for very LOW pile carpet and a medium weight user and for my purposes it works. It does bend under the wheels somewhat and with a heavy person it might be hard to roll around because of the indents made by the chair wheels. But it is not flimsy. It came rolled which in itself is not an issue but it was taped closed with clear packing tape and then obviously left in a hot warehouse because the adhesive from that tape was nearly impossible to remove! Tried GooGone WD 40 and rubbing alcohol spent well over an hour and a LOT of elbow grease trying to get it all off and I still have sticky spots on the at where dirt is starting to build up. Had I known cleaning it up would be such a nightmare I would have paid more for a mat that is packaged differently. Bottom line - if you can afford it get a mat that comes flat or rolled in a box but not taped.
Arrived fast & in good packaging but mat is 2-3 mm thick

The size is perfect and as described but the mat is pretty soft and about 2-3 mm thick. Because of that reason it does sink down a bit when you are sitting in it but it doesn't affect the gliding since the indentations will disappear when the plastic/rubber returns back to the original position. It does its job for now but not sure how long it will last. I would much rather have one that had a harder rubber/plastic but this will do for now for the price. Shipping was super fast and each one was individually packed (I bought 2 of them).
First this was my first order from Staples. Very surprised that my order was delivered THE NEXT DAY! Awesome! Second the casters on my chair make bigger indents into the mat than I had hoped for and the whole mat "walks" like crazy. I ended up putting the edge of the mat under my desk legs. Walking problem solved. Basically I am very satisfied but not ecstatic thus the 4 stars not 5.
