Solid construction protects the floor

Does exactly what the description says. Protects hardwood floors. I use my chair 6-8 hours a day and have not seen any damage to the floor or to the mat. Mat is also thin enough that if you do roll off the edge you do not have to carry the chair back onto the mat you can just roll right back onto the mat. I looked at other sizes but this size seemed to be the best. It fit between the legs of my computer desk actually the legs hold the mat in place ;) and it is long enough that you can slide back from the keyboard and not go off the edge. If the mat was any shorter you would slide off the edge.
This chair mat was placed in a home office which was not used on a daily basis. I certainly expected the mat to last more than two months. The mat has cracked where the wheels of the chair roll and the wheels now get stuck in the crack. Very disappointed with the quality of this product; it really should be a heavier gauge plastic.
Great price. Looks good. Small size fits perfectly in tight places. Just had my home office redone with new carpet and furniture. This chair mat will save the carpet from the wheels on the chair and from dirty shoes.
It's smaller than I expected it to be which is OK for my use (under the cat box)but I'm not sure I would like it at a desk. And it has the grippers for carpet but still "moves" a lot across the carpet. I have to pick up one end and reposition it at least once a week. But the price was right for what I'm using it for! If I write 400 characters I get 5 bonus points but I'm not sure what the points are for?? Guess I'll go for it anyway because I'm getting real close on number of characters. - oh well!
This is a heavy duty mat and was a little stiff at first but has flattened out nicely. Because of medium pile carpet in my office I wanted a thicker plastic mat that wouldn't crack and break in less than a year. I think I found it.
This chair mat is relatively light but seems rugged enough to last a while. Previous chair mats had very sharp non-skid protrusions causing mild hand injuries when handled. This mat is much safer while the protrusions still prevent skidding.
