This is nothing against Staples but the company that mailed this mat to Staples for me needs to learn to use a different kind of tape to wrap the mat up with. After removing the tape all that residue was left on the mat which has made it SO sticky!! I have tried soaking it in Goo Gone alcohol and fingernail polish remover. Nothing has helped much at all. I almost returned it but I desperately needed so I could work from home some what comfortably. Do not recommend ordering if not available in the store!!
This mat is simple & does its job. Yes it did come folded & dusty when delivered. But the instructions say to let it set in room temperature for 24 hours. And after a few days all the wrinkles were straightened out!
This is my 2nd may I purchased from Staples. The 1st one lasted about 5 - 6 years. I like the way it does not slip as others do that I have seen and heard about. Ideal for low pile carpets.
I read the reviews on this mat before purchasing and was still concerned that a plastic mat might move. But this one stays securely to the carpet. My prior floor mat was wood flooring with grip on the back and it moved a lot. This one is very secure. One side of the mat was a bit dented when it arrived (as it was not boxed which was a bit dissappointing) but that dent came out after letting the mat sit for a few days before using it. I like being able to see my carpet under the plastic. I am not oversided in weight so I don't know how this floor mat would hold up to a larger person. I would estimate that anyone less than 200 lbs would probably be okay on it.
This is being used to help with a Hoyer lift for a person with Parkinsons. It works well. I need another one and will order. The aide likes it very much but we need one twice the size so I am ordering another.
The mat is thin and my chair sinks into it as I sit. So much so that it’s hard for the chair to roll after a while. Also the bumps on the bottom that are supposed to keep the mat in place on carpet don’t work. The mat migrates and has to be repositioned every few days. Not happy at all.
