Staples 45 x 53 Medium-pile Carpet Chair Mat with Lip

The product was advertised to be adequate for pile up to 3/4 inch. My carpet is only 1/2 inch and the chair wheels still sink into the mat which makes me think that the mat won't last very long.
Just what I needed! It was received on time. We flattened (and aired it out) by putting it out on our paved driveway (cleaned a spot) on a sunny day with bricks holding the curled edges down. It was warm enough out to make the mat quite pliable when we brought it in to place on the floor. We also tucked the front edge under the desk to trap it in place.
It is so flimsy that the chair wheels make indentations making it difficult to move the chair. It was folded in half when it was delivered and had more wrinkles then a prune. I had to put it on a flat surface in the sun for a day to get it to flatted out.
The hard floor mats that we recently purchased are just big enough for the movement pattern of a regular desk chair. Any smaller and we'd be running off the surface. Good product recommend.
The salesperson who helped me was very attentive and was very happy to find the product that I needed that wasn't on the shelf. And since it was pretty large they delivered it free to my home. I was very pleased with the service.
Replaced this one because previous one cracked. After using for a day it already is denting under wheels. This is what happen to other mat. Other co workers mats which were bought at Staples have the same problem and they are not very old.
I would have rated this 5 stars but since we had to clean the plastic mat before we used it lowered it a bit. I mean it was really dusty. You think someone would have cleaned it before they delivered it. Whatever.
