Mat is soft and chair doesn't roll
on June 9, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
I like the size and shape of the mat but the material is so soft that the chair sinks in making it almost impossible to move (roll) the chair while seated in the chair.
I had recently bought the Martha Stewart simple desk and fabric chair and realized it was too hard to move the chair in order to sit at the desk. I also didn't want the chair to push permanent holes into my carpet. I was afraid I'd stub my toe on the mat but it lays perfectly flat and hasn't given me a problem at all. I had expected to have to put $40 to $50 into such a mat but it was less than $20! You can't beat that value and even though it isn't the highest quality available it works perfectly fine!
This is the second chairmat I've purchased in the last two years. Just tossed the first one (same brand and quality level) due to severe cracking. Label says it's guaranteed but it's a pain to take it in and I couldn't find the receipt so I just got another one which I'll probably have to toss in two years.
I've bought this in the past when it had the spike like cleats and it lasted for over 5 years of heavy use. This new cleat design gentler on hands. Make sure that when you buy one it is slightly pliable (new stock) and use it as it states on a flat pile rug like a commercial type. Older stock is already hardening and will crack and not last as long. Office temperature sun light exposure are other factors in durability. Great product at a great price!
