This Chair Mat is being used by an overweight individual on high pile carpet and so far is working great. It was delivered right to my door I didn't have to drive to the store get it into my vehicle drive home and have to drag it into the house. I only had to drag it into my house! Since it is 46" x 60" and wobbly that means a lot. Make sure your area is large enough to handle this size before purchasing! This is being used in a spare bedroom where the computer is located and it just fit. Since it is 5' long I can wheel from the desk to the low filing cabinet and is making work a lot easier! Have a great day!
I needed a larger mat to cover the large area for my chair to be used with my corner desks arrangement. This is the largest I could find that would work which was a plus. However the mat I previously used for my high pile carpet was thicker and did not deform under the chair wheels as the Staple mat does. The Staple mat is OK but I would have paid more for a thicker mat. I felt it would work simarly since it was advertised for high pile as my previous mat was also. The old mat was thicker!
I bought this for my home office. In the store it was my only option even though the display indicated there are several grades to choose from based on one's needs. It works fine not worth a return and continued shopping but it's not what I'd call heavy duty. I'm 130 lbs and there are indentions in it from me sitting in the chair a few hours a day. So far those indents have not obstructed it's ability to be useful.
This chair mat works well in protecting the carpet but every 2 days I have to re-position it. The mat tends to move 4" - 8" (primarily back away from the desk) after a couple of days of sitting in and moving the desk chair backwards in order to stand up. If that won't bother you it works very well.
depressions formed the first day I used this chair mat from the wheels on my chair. I'm not heavy so this mat isn't thick enough to withstand normal use in my opinion
