This is shipped folded. Instructions state "allow to come to room temp for 24 hours before attempting to unfold so that it does not crack." Let's say 72 hours and then getting so frustrated that there was no change so that one must forcibly use a series of increasing weights to eventually flatten the mat. This solution was perfect because it is not as if anyone has to work a full-time job -- really just focus on chair mat flattening. Works now but requires a lot of patience a sense of humor and a good demeanor. Would recommend for an office pool. Buy two mats. Set an over/under on amount of hours needed to flatten with assistance and without. Great distraction. Can use Zoom to measure for those of you that are still working remotely.
Well made chair mat. It isn’t pokey underneath like the one I had previously.

Staples Low Pile Carpet Chair Mat

Chair mat is perfect size for the smaller computer desk in the auxiliary office. I was worried about the narrow opening in the desk but mat works perfectly. Another chair mat in a different shape was ordered for the other desk in the office and both work perfectly together. Will protect the new carpeting installed in workspace. Chair glides easily. Construction sturdy. Easy to sweep clean and easy to pick up and see fallen objects like paper clips. There is no tripping hazard with lip. Would definitely recommend this product
