I bought the mat because i was using a fold-up chair that was making "holes" in the carpet. I bought an "office" chair at the same time and they're both working out great. Now I can roll back instead of trying to work my way around the stationary chair. Happy Happy. Now I'm in a comfortable chair and on a mat that looks and works great.
First the mat came all rolled up so I had to put weights on it to flatten it. Second you placed the item sticker on it and it took me a half hour to scrub it off. pain in the neck.
Our home office carpet chair mat was about seven years old and needed replacing. ( We purchased it at Staples). Based on that good service we decided to shop at Staples again for a replacement. Fortunately the local store had a good selection of sizes and types and we were able to buy one that was a perfect fit for our small office space. The sales person was very knowledgeable about the product and was able to guide us to the right fit for our needs. We expect that our new mat will have the quality to last at least as long as the one it is replacing.
Highly recommended. The clear Chair Mat allows easy maneuverability in front of your computer whilr not changing the overall look of the room! In turn it also saves the rug from the wear and tear of the wheels forcing their way thru the pile of the carpet!
