It is made for hard floors but I find it does not stay put. In order for this to stay put on the hardwood you need to have some kind of backing or anti-slip material to keep the product from moving about. So if you are looking to have a mat that doesn't move this is not the product for hard wood floors. What I ended up doing is buying the matting that is used for area rugs and cut it to fit the mat. Now it does not slide. By doing this the Hard Floor Mat protects the floor and I get to keep gliding about the floor with my chair.
I purchase all chair matts ink printers and towers from Staples. My last chair matt cracked in the center from where I sit so much at my office desk. It was the first one to crack on me. Once I figured out how to use my new printer I now enjoy it. My only problem with it is to delete the print that I just printed. So if I have to many showing in the system It ask me to save or delete. At that time I now can delete the previous page. The best thing I like about my printer is how easy it is to replace the ink. Pop one out and pop the new one in.
I purchased this same product about 2 years ago. I have medium carpet and use the desk chair over mat everyday. The chair Mat lasted about 2 years prior and I look for it to last the same amount of time this time. I received free shipping both times and the chair mat held up well in the shipping. What i really appreciate is the easy peel of the shipping label off the mat without leaving excess residue. I would not purchase the economy model below this one. Staples does offer more expensive models of chair mats but the price is good and it held up about what i would expect with my heavy use. If this model of chair mat is still sold when i need another chair mat I will probably purchase again.
This mat is shorter in both length and width from the previous mat that I bought a few years ago. That was the first disappointment (it was the largest mat available at the Staples store). Secondly it is thinner than the previous mat. A big disappointment. I didn't measure the old mat before I bought this one but if I had known about the smaller size and thinner material I would not have bought this product.
