Chair mats get brittle over time. This one was purchased to replace an old mat on a medium plush office carpet. While not quite as large as I expected although I did measure it does fit the area and is pliable making it a good purchase for the "over the carpet" application. I also hope this one does not become opaque over time...looks great now. Not sure what else to say about a low pile carpet chair mat. I did have it shipped to the house and delivery was prompt with minimal packaging and it arrived undamaged!
This mat is the perfect size and shape for my "space" needs. I am using it at my sewing machine space. It slid into it's reserved spot perfectly!! Now I am on the hunt for an armless chair with rollers. I found one online at Staples and am hoping there is one in the store that I can "try out". Planning to do that in the next week. I also must say after I ordered my chair mat it came the very next day!! And it wasn't because I paid a ton for shipping!!! I have ordered other items online from Staples and they have always arrived in 24 hours!!! Fantastic!!!!!!
I've had many other basic carpet chair mats in my day. This one is too thin. Just the weight of my basic office chair on wheels leaves big dents in the mat which leaves big dents in my carpet. Next one I buy I'll make sure it's a thicker one like all the other ones I've owned prior. You get what you pay for.
Bought 2 of them so my husband could move from his desk to his model table in his new chair he got for Christmas. Works great on the low pile carpet we have in that room. Mats are a nice quality heavy weight appear to be durable. We purchased one a few years ago for our laptop under desk and chair. Looks brand new and so we knew this would be a good purchase for us. You need mats when you have desk chairs sliding on floors or carpet that's why offices use them. We purchased them on a nice sale with Staples delivered very quickly we are more than pleased with them!
