Arrived with a crack at the edge of the mat because Staples rolled it up and then used packing tape to deliver. Additionally the tape was difficult to remove and left a residue that is picking up dirt -- so the mat constantly looks dirty.
Very smooth for chairs with rollers. Large enough to be able to glide over to either side of an L-shaped desk. Stays put. The "lip" that sits under the front of the desk works well also it allows chairs to be pushed in easily without rolling off of the mat. This was a great purchase for us and I would definitely buy again for the other offices.
My biggest shock was that the mat came to me completely with out any kind of package or covering. The address label was simply stuck on the mat and that is how the driver delivered it to my house. The driver said he had never seen such a lack of delivery packaging. The mat was not damaged but it seemed like an odd way to deliver a product that could scratch or crack. I liked that I was able to trim the chair mat with heavy duty scissors to make it fit around my desk. The mat finish looks nice and clean - not too dull and not too shiny. The problem is that my all oak desk chair has brass casters so any place the casters have rested on the mat there is a deep dent.The mat does protect the carpet but don't expect to push off from your desk with one foot and zoom to another location on this mat. It would make great anchorage during an earthquake because "you áren't going anywhere once your chair sinks into the mat.
I can't get it to stay in one spot. Have to move it every day back to the original location I want it to be in. even when I put it under my desks legs to try and hold it in place it still moves.
