I have it under my rolling chair in front of my computer desk so I am able to move so much easier to reach needed items around me on my carpeted area. It is great and just the right size and cleans up so quickly. If I drop anything I still can see what I dropped because it has not discolored .
We use this mat on our hard wood floors. We are at the computer every day. It works great. The only problem I notice is that it slides around. I am going to try to figure out a way to keep that from happening. For now I just readjust it every couple of days. Great mat for the money!
I'm honestly appalled at the high cost of chair mats in general. That said this mat is honestly too thin for my use but I knew that to begin with and refused to spend more for a chair mat. It's a fine chair mat for what it is but used on a medium pile carpet like I have it's going to get noticeable dimples that make it a little hard to roll the chair. But since it's not meant for medium pile carpet I can't really hold that against the product. I can hold the general price of chair mats against the industry though. *shakes fist*
This is a decent product for the price. I purchased to use primarily at home. After having a rolling chair and no mat I was determined not to ruin any more carpet. The only con I have is for the shape. Since I have a small desk at home the portion that fits underneath the desk is to short. There is about 11 to 12 inches deep of unprotected carpet. The remainder of the area is just perfect. Great buy!
