I like the size. It gives more room for the chair to move and the chair glides smootlly

Poor performance and poor quality

It's extremely difficult to find a chair mat engineered for carpet anymore. In my case glass is not an option and I don't wish to pay upwards of $200 for what's essentially a sheet of plastic. My hope was this "medium pile carpet chair mat" would perform as well as the mat it's replacing. I got my hopes far too high. I read the reviews and there has been a consistent complaint. The "bars" on the underside do not hold the mat in place. My former mat had good old fashioned spikes and NEVER moved. I thought this mat would be okay because one corner would be pinned in place by a desk caster and the opposite corner pinned by a small table. I thought wrong. Everyday it continues to rotate more in a clockwise direction while in bunches up at the desk caster. After a week it has completely walked out from under the table leg. Add to this the fact it's extremely soft. My desk chair sinks into it so deeply that it becomes difficult to roll out of the potholes. This problem didn't occur with the old mat until it was nearly 15 years old and the chair casters would catch in age cracks. For the record I did the "paperclip test" and verified the uncompressed carpet and padding is only 5/8" thick -- easily below the rated 3/4" limit. I don't know what the solution is to getting a reasonably priced chair mat that works properly with carpet. All I can say is this mat is certainly NOT a good solution.

The description for this mat says that it "Protects carpets up to-3/4-inch thick including padding" however I used this on carpet that was barely 1/2" thick and the wheels of my computer chair would keep sinking into dents in the carpet caused by how thin the material is. The mat provides basically no support for chairs on carpet.On top of all that when I received the mat it was absolutely filthy and the adhesive on the tape that was used to hold it together during shipping stuck to the mat.

Good upgrade from the basic chair mats that don't last a year with daily use.

Staples PlushMat Carpet Chair Mat 46" x 60'' review

Looks like a very good chair mat. It simply is not appropriate for high pile or plush carpet.
