I wish I could have gotten a matt custom made for thesize of the area I needed it for. I might have preferred one with a lip on the edge to keep my chair from rolling off when I move around. It's taking some getting use to but I think it will serve the purpose of protecting the carpet.
Working great so far. Had to order it on-line but it is much thicker and stronger than the regular ones found in the store which don't hold up on carpet. Time will tell whether this one holds up but it's working great so far.
Well everything is cheaply made now isn't it.? This serves the purpose and I guess will be tolerable. But the mat is so cheap that the chair hardly rolls across it.
All chair mats replaced after new carpet was installed. Purchased 2 different brands one was the Staples brand. The Staples chair mat had dents in it within a week to 10 days of use where the chair wheels normally rest when the chair is in use. We tested both brands for about 2-3 weeks and purchased about 8 more of the other brand since they seemed to hold up better. Used in an office setting where employees are at their desks for 8 hours a day. Staples brand would be great for a home office that gets used up to 3 hours a day.
I am dissapointed in the Matt in that the label on it notes it is for carpet so it should not slip (slide) over low pile carpet but it does slide into the desk legs and requires adjusting regularly after sitting at a desk and moving the chair around the desk.
