If you join Staples Rewards you will get great emails offering numerous valuable coupons. I could have chosen any office supply store to purchase my carpet chair mat but there it was a COUPON just for Reward members and I got $10.00 of the purchase of the carpet chair mat. I probably would have waited a longer amount of time and just suffered with the old carpet chair mat that was cracked; the coupon was the catalyst that prompted the purchase and at Staples. The sales people at the store are always very helpful.
The material is too soft and the chair wheels make indentation ruts that are hard to move out of...I'd buy the Polycarbonate version but it's almost three times as much...
Service and delivery are always excellent. This floor mat works perfectly in my small office behind the desk with rolling chair. Was rolled up on delivery and flattened down quickly - within one day after placing on carpet.
The mat was easier than I expected to unroll and lay out flat. I needed gloves however to keep from hurting my hands on the spikes. The mat looks good and protects the carpet well. However the plastic material is quite soft and the chair does not roll easily on it. The wheels simly press the mat down into the carpet. Part of the problem may be that my carpet is too plush for this type of mat. I have a couple of hard plexiglass carpet pads which work fine for rolling but they slide around on the carpet. I thought your mat with its built-in plastic spikes would solve the sliding problem and it does. However the material is a little too soft at least for my carpet and I would prefer a harder material (but not as hard and slick as plexiglas). Maybe you'll come up with one in the future.
