As a school teacher I am always looking to make my classroom more inviting for my students. The day I bought the chair mat was the day I decided to do something for "me". The color I chose (clear) will go with any classroom decorations that I might come up with. The price along with a coupon made it very affordable. Even though school has not quite started I already have the chair mat in my room! It has been tested to see if it is going to live up to my expectations. Well I have to say it does. The teacher chair actually felt more comfortable when on the mat. I now smile every time I roll instead of "scoot" from one area of my work to the other.
This item worked out very well. I had purchased a carpet chair mat about twelve years ago. It did very well but began to crack. The newer mats are a little lighter but much easier to handle. This flat pile mat fit was an easy fit with the dimensions I found on line. Rather then wait for the item I checked with our local Staples store and found it was in stock The inventory in the store also enabled me to see other thickness's that were available. I decided on the 36" x48" which was the right decision for me. I plan on buying another mat soon for another office area in the house. Good selection....Staples!
Easy to find on website. Easy to order. Delivered as promised. Fits its intended place. Is functioning on the floor as expected. Only long-term use will determine whether or not it will hold up over a long period of time. It is a characteristic of plastic chairmats that over time they become brittle and crack. This mat appears to be made of slightly different plastic than our previous also purchased from Staples. Hopefully this one will not crack for another 6 to 7 years.
If you buy these you have to plan on replacing them every year or two. They crack quite easily leaving chunks of plastic for us to pick up and our chairs get stuck in these ruts. These were a really bad budget decision by me for our offices.
