Picked up the chair mat price is affordable but not as strong. When you are working all day in it it basically just dents the spot that you sat on for a long time. Not durable at all.
This works good enough and is good enough for the price the only issue I have with it is that it gets dents in the mat that my chair keeps wanting to roll into. I am a small person my chair is a small task chair and my carpet is very low pile... so I'm not sure why this plastic gets deep wheel dents. 🤔
This mat is thinner than I expected. I was by no means misled. I only assumed a carpet mat would be of a thicker material. My chair settles down into the carpet on top of the mat making it difficult to move around.
I didn't think there would be a difference between flat pile and low pile carpet for this chair mat but there is. My chair made big dents in the mat and wouldn't roll at all (I am a petit woman). My carpet is very low pile but not flat. Unfortunately Staples doesn't sell any other kind of chair mat with a lip in their stores.
