Chair Sinks Into Mat for Uneven Roll
on September 15, 2009
Posted by: Paula K.
Using this on recommended commercial carpet without padding but it's not thick enough to maintain a level rolling surface. Probably OK for super-thin carpet.
Came rolled up so I could not use it for a couple of days. After that it worked fine however. I would recommend not using this on a hard wood floor though as it would scratch it. It is great for my carpeted floors though.
This product is literally saving my wood floors from damage by my desk chair. The chair rolls easilly over it's surface and the mat feels good under foot. The size accommodates the rolling area of the chair perfectly. The only thing that I would wish to change about the product would be if it was clear rather than somewhat opaque. I would like to see through to my wood floor beneath. But I do not know if such a mat can be made and still retain the positive features mentioned above if it was clear and not opaque.
The product is ok but all the floor mats seem to be the same standard size... I could use a larger one and putting two together just jams up the rollers on the chair when I try to move over the gap. Maybe because it's on carpet but then again if it were just another three feet longer it would be no problem.
