Customer Reviews for Staples - Staples Carpet Chair Mat, 36" x 48'', Medium-Pile, (28591) - Clear

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace a mat that was beginning to crack after approximately five years of use. This man is softer than others I have had which is actually a good thing. It took less than four hours for the mat to settle down and become flat after I put it on my carpet. Although the rollers of my home office desk chair make indentations in the mat because the mat is softer these are very easy to roll out of. My previous mat was stiffer and I actually had to lift the chair out of the indentations to move it. Based on the two weeks I have used it I would buy this mat again.

Chair mats durability
on April 17, 2017
Posted by: Paula K.
Chair mats are rather expensive come in various thicknesses and stiffness. They state that a mat is for a certain thickness carpet and so on. They don't seem to tell you thickness in thousands of an inch or rate durability which is of interest to me. The main problem with mats is that over time they develop cracks until chunks of plastic are cut out and make unusable. The typical desk chair wheels today are narrower which make this problem more pronounced by concentrating the weight on a smaller area. This mat seems to be not as rigid and the wheels actually leave a small depression but so far on a prior purchase after 1.5 years not crack the mats plastic. I bought two of these mats and the one my father uses on thicker carpet he claims actually creeps and changes location under the desk. I believe this is because of his carpet and the rectangular cleats under side are not sufficient to hold in place on thicker carpet. Problem is mats stated for use on thick carpets are significantly more expensive. Get what you are willing to pay for I guess!

Sorta soft but good 'n' slide-y

When first used it indented easily beneath chair rollers making for an uneven lumpy sliding surface. Eventually it evened out & worked fine.

Cant roll chair easily
on October 31, 2011

It's difficult to roll the chair because the thing is made of soft plastic . Chair wheels sink into it. They dont seem to carry a rigid mat.

Pros: The size was perfect. It fit just right underneath my desk. The studs are bottom made it impossible to slide around over the carpet. Perfect for daily tasking. Cons: This version is 100% see-through whereas my original one was translucent which looked neater over the carpet. I wish the mat would be firmer. Because with this softness over the next few years the chair's wheels will eventually puncture through the mat.

I like that it is clear which keeps it looking fresh. Now having said that It is not thick enough to where my chair doesn’t sink in and get stuck but maybe that only happens if you are on a hard surface and not carpet and/ or you only weigh 175 lbs or less. I can say that I have had worse where it would sink in almost immediately but this one takes about an hour when sitting in one spot. Hope this helps.
