Does the job

Not a bad chair mat does the job and is good for home office. I eventually reworked my office and needed a bigger one so this is going back - not because of quality just don't need to keep it. The new one is Polycarbonate made by Floortex ... I will say this and I know this is supposed to a review of the Staples chair mat but if you can swing the few extra dollars buy the Floortex it's awesome! The material is a well constructed that isn't as soft. Came in a box in a roll and I was worried I'd have to wait for it to flatten out but nope ... just cut the strap and it laid down flat no waiting several days or weeks for the little kinks to flatten out.
Paid extra for this mat because it was suppose to be the best for medium thick carpet. There is NO GRIP whatsoever on the back of this mat. Constantly having to slide it back over so my chair wouldn't roll on the carpet. Maybe I move too much but hey carpet mats are supposed to make it easier to use your rollers! The material is very strong but design is bad.
I bought these mats before and they lasted about 9 years - depending how much you roll your chair on it :) It was time to buy another one and it still has the same durable feel to it.
This chair mat protects as promised. Mine came perfectly flat when delivered so no "un-curl" time! The only issue I have is that the first time I stepped on it to sit in my chair the mat slid several inches and I had a nice little ride! Phew! I'm just more careful when approaching the mat.
