It fits.

At first I thought it would be to big but the staff person loves how much wider this is. She rolls from her desk to a hutch that holds her computer. The first thing she said was it fits.
This is a decent mat best used for hard surfaces or very thin carpet. The thickness is minimal & if you are of decent weight on moderately thick carpet your chair wheels will sink somewhat into the mat. I am able to slide around alot better than without it & it's better than nothing. A thicker mat is best for thicker carpet. Not sure how long it will last though. It's good for the price I paid though
This chairmat does not match the slightly smaller"standard" chairmat that I bought at Staples. It works. I do like the size but it's not smooth. The chair doesn't glide very easily makes a rumbling noise and when I'm barefoot the texture is like walking on concrete. It's also not as translucent as the "Standard" chairmat which means it is more visible on the nice hardwood floors. And as stated in the description it's square and it has a "cliff edge" which means it doesn't have the nice taper region on the "standard" mat. That makes more of a difference than I thought.
After several years my old mat had hardened and was breaking apart. I chose this one over the name brand because the quality appeared to be the same but the price was significantly lower.
I have 6 of these in my office and 5 cracked after 2 years of use. They have a limited lifetime warranty so I called Staples and was given the manufactuers contact info. I filed a cliam online and had 5 new mats in my office within 10 days!!! They didn't even charge me shipping!
