i would have been willing to pay more money for a thicker mat. I know this one will last only for a few years. I suggest a thicker mat that will last a minimum of five (5) years with normal wear & tear.
Seems a bit flimsy so not sure how long it will last but the price was right and replacing it at that price after a couple years would not seem to be a problem.
this chair mat smells awfull even after one night with an open window you can smell the chemicals coming out of that thing. Most likely it´s made out of PVC containing phthalate plasticizers which are unhealthy. I will return it...
I am renting and did not want to loose my deposit by damaging the new carpets so these mats get the job done. My Study Buddy and I conduct research on 8' folding tables that we also purchased from Staple and the mats are long enough to stay of the carpet. They slide a little on the low pile carpet but eventually they will stay place. A great value at [$]
