It stays in securely in place. I like the mat but the chair wheels leaves little indentations in the mat. It does seem to smooth back out after awhile.
I'm 180 lbs sit on a standard 5-leg office chair. Mat sits on a 1/4" deep wall to wall rug.Sitting still 15 minutes at desk leaves a dimple under front wheels that's difficule to roll out of. Totally unsatisfactory. I have already ordered a replacement(tempered glass). It's like the plastic wasn't cured. My previous mat was thinner and totally satisfactory but too small(3x4)- kept rolling of the edges. This one is almost 50% thicker(0.1 vs 0.145) but much less supportive. I was suprised - and dissappointed.
We have the mat under a desk and part of it had to be slid under our bookshelf. It sometimes "bubbles up" on the corner. Quality is good for the price. The plastic seems very pliable. Our older one seemed a little more stiff but I don't know if that is better or not. It cracked after about six years of use (which is very good in my opinion.) Perhaps the pliability of this one will make it a better mat. I really can't say but I'll be happy if it also lasts five or six years.
Chair mat for use under exercise machine which is place on high pile carpet. I tried several different solutions to prevent the machine from ruining the carpet with the constant friction during use. I was in Staples to purchase another item and was commenting to the cashier about my problem using the machine. He suggested the floor mat - works well. Thank you!
This is all you had to sell me and it's just too thin. I've always bought my mats at Staples but this mat just let's the chair sink into it and then it's just too difficult to move it around. I don't have thick carpeting but I think this mat would only work on indoor/outdoor carpeting. I won't make this mistake again.
I chose this mat after reading the reviews (positive and negative) and comparing to other mats. We use it in our home office on carpet while sitting in a leather office chair. The chair rolls smoothly and easily on the mat. My husband is 185lbs and there are no dents creases or cracks in the mat after using it for 2 weeks. Great product!
