Does the job but not particularly durable. I bought this to replace another one which I bought a couple of years ago. That one (which I think was the same or a similar model) had apparently dried out and was badly deteriorating. Description is confusing and misleading. It states: "Protects carpets up to 3/8" thick including padding" but then says "just right for low pile carpets with 0.75" padding". Obviously 3/4" padding cannot be included in a total thickness of 3/8"!
There are several things I like about this chair mat. One is the size which is very adequate and it doesn't move on my floor. I am overweight and the mat is like many others in that when my chair sits in one place for a while the rollers on my chair have depressions that I have to move the chair up and out of. I fear that this chair mat will be like all the others I have ever used and develop 'spider web' cracks all over where the chair sits most often and will need to be replaced. I will see! If it does this product does have a guarantee. which I will use. This chair mat cost enough so I hope Staples honor's this guarantee.
Quick ship. For the price value is good. One thing i wish that it would not do it does not grip 100%. It may slide once in a while. However the price is good. Thus far it is standing out against abuse well.
this is exactly what I needed to protect my medium height carpet. The beveled edge removes any tripping risk. I am very happy with the quality and price.
The high pile is a little better because it is thinker and heavier. However the tongs that extend into the carpet are no longer than the low pile item. I ended up returning the item since the extra expense is not justified.
