I bought 2 of these floor mats for 2 offices with hardwood floors. They work great! They were delivered "as is" (no packaging) and were rolled up. The curl came out virtually immediately and they lay flat within a few hours. They are easy on the floor and the chairs roll or slide easily on them without any slippage. There was a slight smell to them initially but within a short time the odor was gone. These chair mats work very well to protect our hardwood flooring and allow the easy chair manueverability needed.
This product seems durable...but it didn't come in any packaging. The driver had it on a pallet on the back of his truck. By the time they were delivered they were completely bent out of shape. After a few days of laying them flat (with the help of heavy boxes overnight) they seem ok. Good price good quality. So far so good!
I've bought this in the past when it had the spike like cleats and it lasted for over 5 years of heavy use. This new cleat design gentler on hands. Make sure that when you buy one it is slightly pliable (new stock) and use it as it states on a flat pile rug like a commercial type. Older stock is already hardening and will crack and not last as long. Office temperature sun light exposure are other factors in durability. Great product at a great price!
Before using this carpet mat the roller chair would get hung up on the throw rug. This mat lies flat on top of the carpet and under the computer desk. The chair flows smoothly across the mat and because the colors of the "covered" carpet are seen vividly it is difficult to tell that a mat is on the floor. The mat fits perfectly between the legs of the desk without any trimming. Besides being perfect for the roller chair it is also excellent for walking. I would recommend this mat for any application.
