I've had many other basic carpet chair mats in my day. This one is too thin. Just the weight of my basic office chair on wheels leaves big dents in the mat which leaves big dents in my carpet. Next one I buy I'll make sure it's a thicker one like all the other ones I've owned prior. You get what you pay for.
This mat is the perfect size and shape for my "space" needs. I am using it at my sewing machine space. It slid into it's reserved spot perfectly!! Now I am on the hunt for an armless chair with rollers. I found one online at Staples and am hoping there is one in the store that I can "try out". Planning to do that in the next week. I also must say after I ordered my chair mat it came the very next day!! And it wasn't because I paid a ton for shipping!!! I have ordered other items online from Staples and they have always arrived in 24 hours!!! Fantastic!!!!!!
The chair mat I'd had for years finally cracked tot he point of not being usable any more. I ordered this one online and it was delivered the next day. Had to trim the lip just a little since I have a narrow entry on my desk but it was easy and it fits great. I provides great chair support and mobility even on the high pile carpet in my home office.
This chair mat was just what we wanted and the price was right. Had a % off coupon that made it really work. Recently refinished the hard wood floor in my office space at home. Did not want to be running the chair wheels over the new finish. Initially used an area rug but that did not work. This mat is perfect. Width and length were just right and the lip on the edge allows an easy "recovery" if I rolled too far to the back or either side. Highly recommend this mat to anyone looking to protect a hard wood surface.
