Mat not too strong
on March 12, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
We needed a new plastic mat under the desk in our front room. Staples sent a coupon so we decided to use it for the mat. The plastic mat is the correct size but is a little bumpy under the desk. It sits on top of a rug and the chair sometimes has a problem sliding over the bumps in the mat. the last mat developed a crack in it and I hope this one is stronger. I am slightly worried because it already is bumpy. A plastic desk chair on casters has to glide over the mat. Maybe we should have purchased a thicker mat.
Very good so far however if it is like previous mats it will start cracking after the first year and need replacement. Thought these were limited guaranteed?
We had been pricing mats for our den because we just had the floors refinished and when we saw this one for the price we ordered it and it is exactly what we wanted. It fit according to the dimensions we needed and it allows our computer chair to move freely and without falling off the mat. We were very pleased that it came as promised after our order was excepted and that it was delivered by UPS which made it simple to leave our acceptance on the door so that when were not home the driver could still leave the package for us.
These chair mats will withstand the stampeding of rhinos. Well maybe. But they definitely endure perpetual rough usage by our employees. Our company only buys this brand of chair mat and they last for years. The only reason we bought this one is because the one it replaced was 8 years old. It's great only for carpeted flooring the spikes underneath grip the ground firmly ensuring that it never moves. After 5 years of use my own personal chair mat is starting to curl up on one of the edges and I've stubbed my shoe and tripped on it a few times. But after 5 years I still can't complain because this thing doesn't even have a crack in it! Wonderful.
