This chair mat is too thin and not up to daily use. I went to Staples to buy a sturdy mat for daily use. Inventory said it was in stock but it wasn't even with checking the back room. So I bought this mat. Getting it to my office and using it for a couple days made it clear the purchase was a mistake.
I had bought three of these mats. They say that they are for carpets 3/4" thick including pad. I measured by sticking a paper clip into the carpet. I came to just 3/4". These mats are so thin my chair sinks into the mat and makes it difficult to roll across. When I do try to roll the mat will shift and pucker when it bumps into a file cabinet. I have to straighten them out a couple of times a day. I would have returned them but I am 72 years old and it was a major task getting them into my office in the first place.
The add was misleading. First it was not thick enough for high pile carpet.My chair made dents right away that where hard to get out of after just 1 hour. Second the points on the bottom are not long enough. I have to preposition it at least 3 times a day. This mat at best for low profile carpet.
