WHEN THIS CAME FROM UPS IT HAD BEEN MANGLED IN SHIPPING BUT IT WAS NOT PACKAGED AT ALL EITHER. SOMEONE JUST SLAPPED A UPS LABEL ON THE MATT AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY MANGLED WHEN IT ARRIVED. WE HAD TO PUT AT LEAST 5OO LBS ON IT OVER THE WEEKEND TO GET IT TO LAY FLATTER BUT IT WOULD NOT COMPLETELY FLATTEN AND ONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES TRIPPED OVER IT CUTTING THEIR FOOT.
Good floor protector. Works very well on a carpet. Lets desk chair move more easily. Not so good on hardwood floor because of the little points on the underside. This is a lot less expensive that most of the name brands and may be slightly smaller but the quality is just as good.
I bought the matt to put in my carpeted office room...it's just too thin for a 200 LB guy...already cracking after 2 months or so...needed a bigger mat.
The chair mat is soft enough to indent from the casters. Makes sliding movement over the mat hard...have to push instead of gliding to move. Should have considered the harder acrylic chair mat.
Really like the fact that this one does NOT have those "dangerous-spikes" underneath to hold the mat in place; instead they are smaller/shorter & not like daggers- more rounded flat-shaped edges. It's a little smaller than my old one but not as heavy. Fits very nice in front of my desktop PC. Very smooth & shiny surface. A good price. Hopefully I'll get many years of use with this one as I had with my old mat.
The bamboo mat I looked at probably lasts longer but I don't want to pay that much money for something my desk chair is gonna roll around on. This is a good cheap fix.
