I ordered this nice chair mat at my brother-in-law's recommendation. I like how it's firm and broad allowing ample space for my desk chair. It was also an acceptable replacement for my original one which cracked and fell apart due to poor product design. I was also impressed with Staples' one-day delivery option. However upon receiving the mat I found it wrapped in clear packaging tape. Removing this tape was unexpectedly challenging as it left behind a significant amount of adhesive residue. Despite my efforts with various adhesive removers and cleaning solutions the residue persists clouding the otherwise clear chair mat. I encourage the folks at Staples to either use a different tape for packing their products like this or seek an entirely alternate packaging method. Apart from that the mat is serving its purpose nicely. I hope to be able to remove the residue someday.
About 25 years ago I purchased a 36x45 mat for under my home desk chair. It was just the right size and perfect for the job. And after only 25 years of daily hard use imagine it began to crack. I was delighted to find the exact duplicate in the same Staples store where I had purchased the original one. Thanks it's great.
