My Very Own Chair Mat
on July 30, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
As a school teacher I am always looking to make my classroom more inviting for my students. The day I bought the chair mat was the day I decided to do something for "me". The color I chose (clear) will go with any classroom decorations that I might come up with. The price along with a coupon made it very affordable. Even though school has not quite started I already have the chair mat in my room! It has been tested to see if it is going to live up to my expectations. Well I have to say it does. The teacher chair actually felt more comfortable when on the mat. I now smile every time I roll instead of "scoot" from one area of my work to the other.
This item worked out very well. I had purchased a carpet chair mat about twelve years ago. It did very well but began to crack. The newer mats are a little lighter but much easier to handle. This flat pile mat fit was an easy fit with the dimensions I found on line. Rather then wait for the item I checked with our local Staples store and found it was in stock The inventory in the store also enabled me to see other thickness's that were available. I decided on the 36" x48" which was the right decision for me. I plan on buying another mat soon for another office area in the house. Good selection....Staples!
If you buy these you have to plan on replacing them every year or two. They crack quite easily leaving chunks of plastic for us to pick up and our chairs get stuck in these ruts. These were a really bad budget decision by me for our offices.
What is there to say about chair mats? They are lazy! They just lay around on the carpet all day. They do not move so you have no choice but to put your chair right on top of them. At least they don't complain! Really the bottom line is it does its job. Howver the thicker your carpet and carpet pad are the more bending the chair mat does until finally it starts to break. Of course the thicker your carpet and carpet pad are the more you need the chair mat. After all it cost a lot less to replace the chair mat than it to does to replace the carpet.
