I bought this chair mat even though it is suggested for wood or laminate floors and I have carpet. I did this for the look and also I don't like the plasic ones because of the things that stick out of the back of them. The finish is very nice and it doesn't slip or slide around. However now I know why they don't list it for carpet. It is extremely thin and the chair wheels indent the mat which make it hard to roll my chair around. So please mat makers I hope you will read this and start making attractive chair mats for those of us who have carpeting.
Bought this for my daughter to use in her room elunder chair at her desk. It immediatly got ruts in it and was hard to move the chair around. We ill not buy that type of mat again.
I BOUGHT THIS TO PROTECT NEW WOOD FLOORING. IT WORKS FINE IS I COULD KEEP MY OFFICE CHAIR ON IT AND IT WOULD STAY IN PLACE. NEITHER HAPPENS REGULARLY. I AM ALWAYS ROLLING OFF THE MAT. WHEN I DO THE MAT MOVES ON ME. SO AFTER SOME MOVEMENT I PUSH THE CHAIR OUT OF THE WAY AND REPOSITION THE MAT. THEN WE START ALL OVER AGAIN.
After ruining one wood floor with my wheeled desk chair I moved my computer to another room. I did not want the same thing happening to this floor so I put down a piece of cardboard. That worked for a while but I really needed something that would protect my floor yet look nice. The floor mat came in light wood color and dark wood color; I chose the light wood color. Although it is not a match for my floor it complements the wood and most importantly is protecting it from further wheel damage.
