Staples®; High Pile Carpet Chair Mat
on September 2, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I have had this chair mat for about two months and so far. so good. I have a short pile commercial carpet. I measured the carpet thickness with a bent open paper clip and found the thickness as three quarters of an inch. I previously owned the "medium pile" mat from Staples that in about one year developed a large hole. Once you get a crack it's just a matter of time before the entire mat gets a big hole. I compared the thickness on this "high pile" mat to the "medium pile" mat that had the big hole. The "high pile" is definitely thicker. I weigh over 250 pounds and my chair has five wheels touching the mat. This mat shows chair wheel dents that go away when I get off the chair. So far no cracking. This mat does not slide around on my carpet as other buyers have complained. I recommend that you spend a few extra dollars for this thicker mat. Like I said the Staples "medium pile" mat did not last very long here.
It works as expected! It is easy to install too. My chair rolls so much easier and better on this Stalpes flat pile carpet chair mat than on the bare carpeted floor. I purchase this with $10.00 off coupon made it a good deal too.
Needed these to protect our concrete floors which were getting destroyed by our chairs. Have been buying them in increments. The oldest ones are still going strong. And as a bonus the price is right in comparison to other sellers.
