Mat has plastic odor
on November 2, 2010
Posted by: Paula K.
Had to take mat and place it outdoors for over a week before taking it into the office for use. The odor from the plastic was severe which initially permeated the office with the odor.
My rolling office chair moves effortlessly over this well-constructed sturdy chairpad and my Oriental rug underneath isn't obscured at all. You can hardly see the protective pad. Looks and works great.
The cons I gave this product could have easily been remedied by my spending more money. I knew I was getting the cheapest chairmat they had but who wants to spend 60 bucks for a piece of plastic to throw on the floor and abuse?? For me this chairmat works the way I had hoped it would. It protects my carpet and allows me to roll more easily between my computer desk and my traditional desk. Sometimes if I sit in one place too long the chair kind of makes a dent in the plastic and I have to give a shove to roll out of it. But for the price I paid for it I don't get in an ill mood about it. I'm content. It's better than rolling the chair on the bare carpet. And better than spending too much money.
I didn't want to pay the higher price for display model. When Staples offered this mat with the same quality as the one that cost more I didn't hesitate buying it.
