Purchased this to replace one that was breaking up where the chair wheels rubbed the most about 6 mos. This one is doing fine but have only had it a month
Does exactly what the description says. Protects hardwood floors. I use my chair 6-8 hours a day and have not seen any damage to the floor or to the mat. Mat is also thin enough that if you do roll off the edge you do not have to carry the chair back onto the mat you can just roll right back onto the mat. I looked at other sizes but this size seemed to be the best. It fit between the legs of my computer desk actually the legs hold the mat in place ;) and it is long enough that you can slide back from the keyboard and not go off the edge. If the mat was any shorter you would slide off the edge.
This chair mat was placed in a home office which was not used on a daily basis. I certainly expected the mat to last more than two months. The mat has cracked where the wheels of the chair roll and the wheels now get stuck in the crack. Very disappointed with the quality of this product; it really should be a heavier gauge plastic.
It's smaller than I expected it to be which is OK for my use (under the cat box)but I'm not sure I would like it at a desk. And it has the grippers for carpet but still "moves" a lot across the carpet. I have to pick up one end and reposition it at least once a week. But the price was right for what I'm using it for! If I write 400 characters I get 5 bonus points but I'm not sure what the points are for?? Guess I'll go for it anyway because I'm getting real close on number of characters. - oh well!
Great price. Looks good. Small size fits perfectly in tight places. Just had my home office redone with new carpet and furniture. This chair mat will save the carpet from the wheels on the chair and from dirty shoes.
This product is very nice for wood floors. You can barely tell it is there. Nice quality but I have to admit for the price it is only a piece of plastic. I guess you can get cheaper ones but not sure if they would hold up as well this is pretty heavy so I am hoping I get my monies worth out of it over the next couple years. I have also used others of these at the office and was afraid it would be real siippery this one is not when you sit down the chair does not roll across the room with you in it lol.
This is a heavy duty mat and was a little stiff at first but has flattened out nicely. Because of medium pile carpet in my office I wanted a thicker plastic mat that wouldn't crack and break in less than a year. I think I found it.
