They are difficult to roll on. Yes I do have short-worn-down pile and didn't want to spend any more than I did. However being a secretary all my life I do know that heavier/thicker chair pads were available. These were super for rolling any size office chair.
This artist's studio now sports a neat sturdy and compact large floor mat to protect the broadloom when the painter "tears loose". It's a lot nicer than an oil cloth! Economical enough so that it can be replaced when it gets too covered with paint droppings. The cat loves it too!
Chair and pad arrived as promised. Reasonably easy assembly. Chair itself is a bit stiff/firm but that is probably because of newness. Looks good in office. Still getting used to it but overall am very pleased.
This mat is my second desk chair mat in about 6 0r 7 years! That's how long the last one served it's purpose in protecting my carpeting from the daily use of my desk chair rolling back and forth on it.
I ordered the mat for my grandson and he is very happy with it. I also must say that the price was good as well during these times when businesses are raising prices during the Covid19 breakout.
