We purchased this after not finding 'soft' replacement wheels for a desk chair under $60. Those that we did find had a threaded shaft that were too loose and the chair design disallowed getting a nut and washer to hold them fast. Hint to Staples on pricing! However this is about the mat not the wheels. It looks good and is quite functional. I would like to see them offered with both horizontal and vertical print designs in order to match the flooring pattern ... ours is crosswise to the floor grain. Time will tell how this compares & lasts to the clear plastic mats with teeth you use on carpet. I would also like to see a clear version without the carpet teeth. All in all one of our better floor protection purchases.
This is an attractive floor mat. I used to have the clear one but it cracked easily. This one does not crack. My chair wheels have scratched it up some but that is to be expected and it is better than cracking. I am surprised that I like the wood grain coloring. I didn't think I would but it does dress up the space a little bit and matches the other furniture in the office. My only complaint is that it does slide around on the carpet. I have thin carpet though and that may be the reason.
I wanted to protect my hardwood floors. This is why I purchased the floor mat. It has worked fine for me. I have not had any problems. Would recommend this to other people.
