the carpet mat that I order and had delivered came in excellent condition. I have been using the mat for over a week and it is doing its job of protecting my carpet. I would recommend this mat if you are looking to protect a carpet in your office.
Great for office or home. Protects your carpeting from excessive wear and tear. Good size for office chairs. Would have wished it were a bit thicker but for my purpose it is OK. Does not seem to crack slightly pliable.
This is a heavy-duty well made chair mat carpet protector. It is a perfect fit for my "U" shaped desk in my home office. The 46"X60" size provides an excellent amount of protection to the carpet as I roll my chair from the computer monitor area to the work desk section around my home office desk. The material of construction for the chair mat carpet protector is a very heavy-duty vinyl or plastic material that should provide a long life. Although the chair mat is flexible the edges of it will not curl-up when it is installed.
With coupons and discounts it was reasonably priced but I wanted their heaviest duty mat and this is it. It's not as rigid as one might think - the wheels do make a (temporary) impressing that makes resistance to the initial roll and forms a low spot into which the chair rolls. This is at room temperature. It's much stiffer in the cold - and so if you get it delivered and it's cold let it uncurl on its own so it doesn't crack. No issues with mine in that regard. Note that I've bought a couple of these. The first one came via UPS in a box rolled up the second one came via Staples own delivery so it was flat and not packaged. Just a label on it (pain in the neck to get the label off). One comment on the Staples delivery. This is a CLEAR PLASTIC mat. They put it on our front porch (which we don't use but do check for packages) here in Connecticut where it was about 0 degrees (F) when delivered. We didn't see it on the porch at first rechecked when I saw online that it had been delivered. Not smart. It could have languished out there until spring especially with all the snow we've had.
Delivery was the issue: It was scheduled to be delivered on a Wednesday which worked with my M-W office hours. Online it had very confusing details as to its location on that day. I even called our post office thinking it was dropped there. Day ended with no knowledge of where it was. I happened to be in the office on Friday to do payroll since the following Monday was a holiday. While preparing to leave a delivery man came in and had the mat filthy with shoe prints all over it. He apologized for the dirty mat stating it had been lost in his warehouse for a couple of days and was to have been delivered already. As for the product itself.... it wasn't the "lip" I was expecting. While it wasn't a sharp squared off edge the better description for what it does have is 'rounded edges' as a lip to me would me would have been more of a gradual drop from top to bottom of the edge.
