[...] It was not protected by cardboard so the spikey back was exposed and awkward to carry to the office areas without getting jabbed. Not to mention they were just plopped on the floor in a pile bent and curled. Plus without the packaging the manufacturer's label is permanently affixed to the mat and it doesn't come off without some kind of effort and solvent. So now we just have to look at it all day under our feet and it is rather unsightly and unprofessional looking. The label should be removable without stickiness and excess effort. I haven't had it long enough to see the long term wear and tear effects. But I do like the size. Works well in our areas at the office. The edges are beveled nicely too. Seems like it should hold up fine.
the office chair glides easily over the mat. I like the transparity of the product. The carpet is clearly visable through it. Wish it was a little thicker.
Perfect size for space .. the only drawback was the incredibly strong chemical odor that persisted for a week after delivery. My boss thought there were burning tires in my office.
NOT THICK ENOUGH. I HAD PURCHASED ANOTHER ONE AT STAPLE 3/4 YEARS AGO. IT WAS VERY GOOD. THOUGHT THIS WAS THE SAME. NOPE TO THIN . WISH I COULD RETURN AND PAY THE DIFFERENCE FOR A THICKER ONE....
I expected that it would not immediately develop indentations--it is the right type of mat for my carpet. Those indentations make it difficult to smoothly roll and in fact I have to push very hard to get it out of the ruts. I guess I would recommend it because I don't know if there is anything better or not. (Does not slide means that it stays put on carpet and doesn't refer to rolling on top in the chair).
