This is the second mat of this type we have purchased from Staples in the last five years. The first one cracked in the middle where the chair was rolled to and from the desk on a daily basis. Each day it was in use for business from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm by the administrative assistant for the business which was run from the home. The rest of the time it was used by the family of three who lived in the house including a young child and her friends while they played games. I believe the cracking was due to the weight of the adult during the day and two children or one adult plus a child using the chair during the evening hours.
When this mat said it was for only 1/4 inch carpet it was actually stretching. This mat is so light weight that it does not give a firm surface for a roll around office chair. It was a waste of money. I am sad I spent the time and money to purchase it. I am thinking about returning it to the store. Not very useful in my office.
The mat sinks into the carpet leaving wells that the wheels on the chair sinks into. Extremely difficult to roll over. I can't think of any other way to describe it...I would say it is only good on hard surface floors not carpeting.
The floor protector is a thinner plastic but does what it is suppose to. You can see the indentation of the office chair but it is protecting the floor.
I bought this chairmat for my 90-year old father in law. His was brown and falling apart so he was delighted that we found one that would save his carpet and make it easier for him to move his chair.
Sorry didn't use as chair mat. Works great upside down to keep cats off the furniture! I cut it to fit the pieces I need to keep the animals off. I works get looks better than foil!
