The stick on tags that came on these were super glued on! Took me a lot of time to soak in 409 and scape them off! These things are very thin and cheap. Half of my staff wont use them and I bought them better ones locally. The wheels on the chairs sink into the plastic making it hard to move about.
I use this mat to go under my computer chair so the rolling back & forth on the carpet will ruin the carpet. This is the third one I have brought in the last 3 years and they just do not last the start cracking in the center and the hole gets bigger and bigger and pieces start falling off the mat. Should be more pliable.
Chair rollers dig in to the mat making holes and making rolling/moving around difficult. The chair gets stuck in the holes. You can see the seat roller holes although the holes seem to fill back in later after usage. This does not help while using and moving the chair around though. Suggest making the mat sturdier using stronger material.
As I added under "cons" If chair has small wheels mat will crack over time. This is the 3rd mat I've purchased due to this. Larger wider wheels would negate the situation so the problem is not necessarily with the mat!
Smaller size is preferable for a home office. The other two models available at Staples may be great for a commercial business office but the smaller one is perfect for my smaller home office.
