Chair Sinks Into Mat
on August 21, 2011
Posted by: Paula K.
When I first saw the mat the quality and heavy thickness seemed perfect to use on my plush 1" pile carpet. But after one use I discovered that the mat is not sturdy enough to prevent my office chair wheels from sinking into the mat when I'm sitting down. This renders my chair completely stuck in plastic sink holes so my chair will not roll on its wheels. Bummer. In general however I would say that the mat would be a very nice quality mat for low to medium pile carpets but not high pile.

Not Exactly as Expected
on August 15, 2011
Posted by: Paula K.
The description on-line lead me to believe this was a heavy duty mat for use on a thick carpet but it is no better at resisting divots from the wheels of a rolling chair than my old flimsier mat. [...]

When it says low pile it means LOW PILE
on August 15, 2011

This mat should only be used on very thin carpeting. The description says low pile and that is very important. The cleats make it unsuitable for bare floors.

Too soft and unstable

This mat does not stay in place - too soft - casters sink into the mat. Spend a little more for a mat with thicker material.

Why do you buy a mat? So chair's rollers won't press into carpet and chair will roll easily. Neither happens with this mat. The castors will dig into the mat and chair will not roll. If you don't get up and move the chair periodically it will dent through the mat into the carpet. I weigh 165 lbs so nothing out of ordinary there.

Adequate....
on August 15, 2011
Posted by: Paula K.
The comments about sum it up. A larger one would be nicer but this is adequate. It has the same anti-static benefits - also the same "keep the carpet clean and unworn" benefits as the more expensive brands. The main thing I would say on this is that it could be bigger. Hence the "adequate" rating.

Poor - Barely Functional
on August 15, 2011
Posted by: Paula K.
We have it on thick carpet and it is too soft the edge curl up when you roll near an edge. Also the teeth aren't large enough to bite into the carpet so it slides around.
