MY husband decided he wanted a chair mat because I have been using one for a number of years and his chair is on a rug and just thought it would be easier for him to maneuver around. He loves it as I do too although mine is on a floor.
At the onset I was skeptical of this item. So often a seller's item description adds only to delude the buyer of an item's capabilities but is quite the opposite. However Staples has the exact description of it's worth and exactly what I wanted. Thank you STAPLES for selling me this item.
The ad says "No harsh smell GREENGUARD Gold Certified for Low Chemical Emissions to UL 2818No harsh smell GREENGUARD Gold Certified for Low Chemical Emissions to UL 2818". This is not at all true. We took the mat out of the box and it smelled up our whole house. I have chemical sensitivities and this mat is making me very ill. It's going back asap. I have to keep the mat in the garage until then.
