chairmat
on February 5, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I got this chair mat for a home office. It's on top of some really fluffy carpeting so I do find that my wheels on my chair tend to sink in a bit and sometimes I get stuck in one place. It's on the smaller side but that's perfect for my small work space. For the price I don't feel like you could really beat it! I would recommend this for sure!

The jury is still out
on February 5, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
This chairmat is a little different from the three others I have tried ... the carpet grips are rectangular not pointed tacks. Will this make a difference in it longevity? The jury is out. I hope that it last longer than the 18 months (or less) the previous three prevailed before beginning to crack chip and disintegrate. I am not so concerned about the "beauty of my office carpet showing through" as I am in the chairmat's durability. Check in again in 17 months and I'll let you know if this is just another product with planned obsolescence.

Sturdy and durable; lasts a long time
on February 2, 2014

This flat pile carpet chair mat with lip lasts a long time is durable and holds up with my chair rolling over it day after day. I would recommend this product. The price is reasonable and given the length of time that it lasts works out to just pennies a day for the cost. It doesn't ruin the carpeting or floor underneath and the chair slides smoothly and cleanly across the mat. It is so flat that you don't trip on it when walking from the carpet to the mat. It's definitely worth buying.

Not for chairs with thin rollers
on January 31, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I passed up on the matts in the store because they were out of heavy duty ones. I ordered the heavy duty one on the web site. It was a big one and fit my space perfectly. I bought a very expensive chair at the store (the red Sealy one). It's the only red chair in the store and you've probably seen it. The chair has two rollers on each leg and they are each very thin (1/2in). When measured together they span around 2 in. It makes a good solid contact with the matt but the matt dents under the weight of me and the chair. I'm 250lbs but 6'3". I think if the matt was really built heavy duty it would take my weight. As it is now the indentations of the rollers have made points that the chair gets stuck in and becomes very hard to move the chair. Simply put the matt needs to be thicker if it is to be called a heavy duty matt. I said I would recommend this but only with a warning it may indent.

Poor quality material
on January 30, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
This chair mat was placed in a home office which was not used on a daily basis. I certainly expected the mat to last more than two months. The mat has cracked where the wheels of the chair roll and the wheels now get stuck in the crack. Very disappointed with the quality of this product; it really should be a heavier gauge plastic.

Purchased this to replace one that was breaking up where the chair wheels rubbed the most about 6 mos. This one is doing fine but have only had it a month

Solid construction protects the floor
on January 30, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
Does exactly what the description says. Protects hardwood floors. I use my chair 6-8 hours a day and have not seen any damage to the floor or to the mat. Mat is also thin enough that if you do roll off the edge you do not have to carry the chair back onto the mat you can just roll right back onto the mat. I looked at other sizes but this size seemed to be the best. It fit between the legs of my computer desk actually the legs hold the mat in place ;) and it is long enough that you can slide back from the keyboard and not go off the edge. If the mat was any shorter you would slide off the edge.
