BUYER BEWARE! This chiar mat is NOT for high pile carpet. For a chair mat to be effective on thick carpet the mat must also be thick and the underside of mat needs cleats to keep the mat stationary. This mat bends under the weight of the chair and slides all around. I have to reposition the mat DAILY under my desk! Unfortunately I haven't found a mat through any distributor that is thick and has deep cleats that will work on thick carpet.
Chair mat seems to be protecting the laminate floor underneath. Office chair glides easily over the mat. My only complaint is that the mat does slide around a little on the floor but it isn't a big deal. Overall I am very satisfied with the chair mat and would recommend it.
I was very disappointed in this mat. I purchased it to replace one that lasted three years before cracking. This was the only one in the store with a lip so I took it not realizing that it was smaller and thinner than my old one. I will be lucky if it lasts one year. In the future I will choose a better quality mat online where there are more options and not rely on finding one in the store.
The size of the mat was perfect. There was a large selection of the same martial but that is were I think more choices could be available .I needed a large mat and a baboo mat was a choice but only in a small size. The mat is too thin and because of that a little hard to roll around. The labeling on the floor mat did say not for push carpets however it is just my padding that is. Overall Staples is the office supply store I go to first. I do wish the % off would be at the register all the time instead of having to guess when that applies.
