Chair creates deep impressions in mat
on September 20, 2010
Posted by: Paula K.
When I sit for any length of time the wheels of my chair create deep impressions in the mat and my chair gets stuck. I weigh 170. I did not have this problem with a previous mat. When I am not using the mat the impressions do fade but never completely.
The staff person in the chair that's on this mat rolls from desk to file cabinet on the right and to the printer on her left; she needs coverage and this mat is wide enough to do it.
We've had the chairmat about two weeks. It is on berber carpet and has worked fine. We've had a couple of small indentations from the chair wheels but haven't had any problem rolling the chair.
I bought this to help my aching knees from constantly trying to push myself around on carpet and it doesn't appear that it will help much. Rolling around on it takes almost as much effort as it does on the thin carpeting we have. It arrived in a roll and when trying to remove the tape holding it together it left behind a lot of the gum - so now my feet stick to it. Definitely not happy with it.
