Keeps moving around. I have flat pile carpet and almost daily I have to reposition the mat because it has moved. This is the third mat and only the first to move around.
The item itself might be ok but due to the way it was packaged and delivered it is not useable. It was received rolled up and wrapped in packing tape which is stuck to the item and does not come off. In addition the item was not rolled very well and one end was rolled in the opposite direction which creates an edge that is about 6 inches off the floor and seems to be permanent. Consequently having never used the item as it was intended I followed the procedure to have it returned and was told it would be picked up sometime around FEBRUARY 20. IT IS NOW MARCH 14 AND IT HAS NOT BEEN PICKED UP. I have contacted Staples twice about this. As I said the item might be ok but the way it was packaged permanently damaged it and I cannot use it. I ONLY GAVE THIS ONE STAR BECAUCE AT LEAST ONE STAR IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THIS ASSESSMENT. MY SUPERVISOR HAS TOLD ME THEY DON'T WANT ME USING STAPLES ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THIS.
We needed a new plastic mat under the desk in our front room. Staples sent a coupon so we decided to use it for the mat. The plastic mat is the correct size but is a little bumpy under the desk. It sits on top of a rug and the chair sometimes has a problem sliding over the bumps in the mat. the last mat developed a crack in it and I hope this one is stronger. I am slightly worried because it already is bumpy. A plastic desk chair on casters has to glide over the mat. Maybe we should have purchased a thicker mat.
My local Staples store did not have the 36" x 48" hard floor chair mat by Rubbermaid in stock but were most helpful in ordering it for me. The order was placed on Friday afternoon and arrived via UPS on Monday. I unpacked it put it in place and put some heavy books on top of it to help get the it to lay flat. Within less than an hour it had conformed to the floor and was ready for me and my chair. Since we had just spent money installing beautiful new wood floors in my home office I wanted something that would offer protection but still let me see the wood. It works great.
