Office Chair Plastic Mat
on May 21, 2014

The Mat serves the basic minimum requirements to provide smooth movement of the office chair and protect that carpeted area of the office. However it seems that this latest model uses thinner plastic than the previously worn out one which have been used for seven years. And the "teeth" which are supposed to grip on the carpet do not perform satisfactorily thus allowing the mat to slide slightly in various directions and curl up at its border edges. Consequently this results in stubbing one's toes and potential tripping of the user when treading in and out of the protection area. Make it stiffer like the old one!
This is my 3rd mat they last about 3 years if used on a low pile carpet. This is a good mat and I will continue to buy based upon the price as long as they continue to last 2+ years.
This mat is ok for the price. However it is of very thin plastic and mine already has big dimples in it from the office chair rollers. I don't think this mat will last for many years. The other mat I owned previously was not flexible but it was much thicker and lasted over ten years.
I finally had to purchase a new one of these for the office but the one before this purchased lasted 32 years! Very good quality and a necessity for protecting rolling chairs and carpet.
