We bought this floormat to replace one just like it we bought at Staples 10 years ago. It is identical. It was easy to put down stays in place and I have a heavy desk chair with rollers on it and works just fine...buy it!!! If it isn't rolling for some people I am wondering if the carpet they have it on is thick enough.
Just a bit skimpy for the money. We have discarded better in the office that were no more expensive. Next thickness up is too expensive. Only thing I saved was on shipping. I would have paid a little more for a little better.
It was priced competitively and was easy to take home and set up. It works fine so far but I have had others similar to this and they tended to crack as the years went on but generally I got many years use out of the mats. I understand the use of bumps on the bottom of the mat but they sure do hurt when you grab them wrong. It is a good idea to have the handels on the mat to make moving and setting up the mat much easier. My only critisism would be that they need to make the mat thicker so that it would last longer.
After searching for a high quality/durable chair mat the Staples Cust Svc Rep recommended this item because it was thicker and less expensive than comparable mats on the website for thick carpet. I ordered it installed it and returned it within 4 days. Mat is not strong enough to support my weight (157 lbs) without creating a depression and aggravation moving the Staple's brand desk chair around on it. Specs look impressive however this is not effective for thick carpet.
I am certainly satisfied with the floor mat but the label glued on not so much. It took several different kinds of products to remove it without damaging the plastic.
