Staples Medium Pile Carpet Chair Mat

The "cleats" that are supposed to hold the mat in place do not. I have to constantly move my chair off of the mat to move the mat back to its regular place. I'm sorry I didn't get a mat with the sharp pins instead. Maybe it would have worked better.
I ordered this because my deck chair with rollers was tearing up the carpeting. I ordered this in the evening and it was delivered at 8:30 AM the next morning. It was slightly warped but flattened out quickly. I had no problems taking the sticker off. It works great. Not only is it protecting the carpeting but it makes it so much easier to roll the chair. I am thinking about getting another one to put under my son's video gaming chair for the same reason.
I bought two of these in June 2012 to protect my brand-new oak hardwood floors in two rooms where we have computer desks and rolling office chairs. As time went on I noticed that the flooring looked a little odd through the mats especially aroung the edges (where the chairs rarely rolled). I finally took the mats up today. Although my flooring has five layers of polyurethane on it the floor has been so severely scuffed by the mats it looks like it has been sanded. I'm going to need to have those area refinished. It disturbs me that items that I bought for the purpose of protecting my floors have so seriously damaged it!
In retrospect I would of bought the rectangular shape the in I bought with the "lip" to slide under the desk is awkward. Would of preferred full carpet coverage
