Do not buy
Complete garbage. Weight of a chair will leave huge dimples in mat. Useless product. Wasted an hour to clean it after it arrived full of dust and dirt from delivery. Staples should be ashamed to even have this item as a consumer product. It leaves dimples without even sitting in the chair. What a complete waste of material.

Size is just right
It is a perfect size. It is a little thin in every day use. When I (140 lb male) am sitting in my chair the back edges will flair up & family members have caught their feet as they walked by.

Chair Mat
The size is perfect, cost was reasonable
What I don't like is when sitting in my chair the wheels put indents in the mat making it hard to move.
This mat says it was made for the thicker carpet per the description of product, it needs to be thicker to avoid the indent issue. I only weigh 168 pounds!

Chair Mat
This is the perfect size for my dining room now home office. Chair moves easily without slipping away and it doesn’t leave dents in the carpet. I wish I had gotten it sooner.

Terrible Shipping Condition
IMG_0427.jpeg - I found the mat outside of my garage door in the dark. It was badly warped and it will not settle flat after spending the night on my back deck. I am returning it before I even can use it!

Wrapped up with tape and stickers
This mat arrived rolled up with tape. It also has a small sticker and a very large sticker on it. I started to try to remove the tape and stickers and realized I would have to spend about an hour scraping stickers off and then removing the gooey residue. I chose to return it instead. I’ve used these mats before but purchased it in store. It’s only available through onli...

It adequate for even low pile carpet
This was advertised to handle the nap of my carpet but it definitely does not. After sitting for half an hour, the mat has cupped under chair wheels to the point that it is difficult to move the chair.

Mat too soft
Mat material is too soft to support the chair wheels without deforming to dimples, which, in turn, trap the chair wheels and make moving the chair difficult.

Terrible quality
I have purchased this mat every 5 years for the last 15 year. This time the product manufacturing has been seriously reduced in quality. It’s very thin, a standard computer chair sinks into the mat and even without anyone sitting in it. The corners curl up when walking on it, or sitting in a chair. I would expect this from temu or a $20 mat not a $80 one.
