The carpet chair mat came on time and was the correct size BUT it was not the hard and thick mat I was expecting. It I had the opportunity to see it in the store I would not have bought it for that reason. The previous mat I purchased from Staples and used for at least two years was much thicker and still it splintered where my rolling office chair wheels rested repeatedly in the same spots. I was glad that I had not thrown the old one away because I had to place it UNDER this new one to support the new one. Still it is soft where the chair wheels rest.
I ordered the mat in-store and it was shipped to my house. It was a perfect fit for the desk and chair. The mat laid down smoothly and is very serviceable.
Mat ruined by packager who used cheap tape excessively that left sticky residue

I ordered for pick up in local Staples and when I took off the tape that wrapped it (that took 40 minutes) there was a sticky residue (from tape) that I cannot get off. Every time my foot touches it it make a loud "peeling" noise as I step off the mat thanks to the sticky residue. In no time I am sure dust and other particles will adhere to the glue like surface and quickly ruin this other good product. Shame on Staples and their packager for using so much cheap tape around the product thus creating a sticky surface that is annoying and likely to destroy the product.
the mat is not heavy enough. Doesn't grip carpet enough to keep it from moving. If the vinal were twice as thick and had a better grip underneath it would probably be OK>
