It's just a chair mat for carpeted area by my desk. I think the price is really outrageous for the quality of the product. It's supposed to be warrantied for 1 year but it's really not that great - have had it about 2 wks and it already has deep dents where the wheels of my chair sit.
Very hard plasic tends to get brittle crack and break into shards after about a year of chair wheel wear with 160 lb. user. Would probably wear longer if it were made of a slightly softer plastic. It's the only one carried so this is it if you need a chair mat but expect to have to replace it after about a year.
Mats were just what I wanted however the delivery is now very bad. They said they were delivered when they were not and I had to call and get them shipped again. It took almost 2 weeks for delivery. Staples used to have excellent delivery however not so much now.
I certainly am moving easier than with out it - yet my chair sinks into the plastic and still makes it difficult to move freely. I am not a heavy weight either - scale in at 185
