I like this chair mat a lot - I wish I'd bought one sooner for my home computer desk. It saves wear and tear on thick(er) carpet and I think my chair will last longer too (less strain on casters etc. because it rolls more freely). It's a bit soft (so it won't crack on deeper carpet) so chair casters do leave a bit of a "dimple" if you sit in one place for very long but if you're shifting around no problem and any deeper dimples gradually spring back. The only "negative" (which is not terrible) is the very soft plastic gives off a distinct "plastic" smell for the first couple of weeks (off-gassing). But overall I'm very happy with it. I'd buy another if this one wears out.
This Chair Mat is being used by an overweight individual on high pile carpet and so far is working great. It was delivered right to my door I didn't have to drive to the store get it into my vehicle drive home and have to drag it into the house. I only had to drag it into my house! Since it is 46" x 60" and wobbly that means a lot. Make sure your area is large enough to handle this size before purchasing! This is being used in a spare bedroom where the computer is located and it just fit. Since it is 5' long I can wheel from the desk to the low filing cabinet and is making work a lot easier! Have a great day!
I needed a larger mat to cover the large area for my chair to be used with my corner desks arrangement. This is the largest I could find that would work which was a plus. However the mat I previously used for my high pile carpet was thicker and did not deform under the chair wheels as the Staple mat does. The Staple mat is OK but I would have paid more for a thicker mat. I felt it would work simarly since it was advertised for high pile as my previous mat was also. The old mat was thicker!
