Resilia Office Desk Chair Mat with Lip - for Low Pile Carpet (with Grippers) Black, 36 Inches x 48 Inches, Made in The USA

It arrived neatly rolled and but I was disappointed overall. It wasnt sturdy enough or large enough to be useful. The material just made indents the first time I sat down. There were weird manufacturing defects as shown. It also appeared to be used or at least tested and had an indent not caused by the shipping.

I do not have thick plush carpet, I have thin at best. This chair mat doesn’t help. When you sit down initially the chair rules fine. However once you sit in one spot working and you try to roll from the desk or turn to grab some thing you are stuck. The mat sinks were the wheels of the chair has been sitting. I am not overweight, I am 125 pounds. You have to stand and push the chair out of the divet. It just absorbs the wheels of the chair. It eventually raises back up after you move to a new spot. I won’t return it because I don’t have a box to use. Spend the extra money and buy something different. This is definitely not worth the money.

This is a middle of the road chair mat.Shipment:This item is rolled up in a bag and was delivered in a box. The box looks like it went through the apocalypse, thankfully the product was in good condition. I unrolled it, it had some bends still from being rolled up, but after maybe 24 hours it lays almost perfectly flat. I am sure it will lay flat afterwards. (it does off gas a little bit, but it's what i would consider a normal plastic smell...the smell is gone after 12 hours).Functionality:I have a low profile carpet that I am using this on. Our carpet pad isn't extravagant, but it's not a cheapo one either. This mat does not hold structurally when just the chair sits on the mat. It creates a temporary "dent" in the mat, which actually makes it harder to roll around with than the carpet did. (my office chair has upgraded inline wheels that make it easier to roll around). The dent kind of eats your wheel and because it doesn't resolve itself quickly it sucks you back into that spot again.This would be a great mat for a thin, no carpet pad, doctor's office type carpet or rug. Not great for in-home use, which is a bummer. I'm thinking I will return it.

I don't know what kind of plastic this is made out of but it is hard as hell. I think I was hoping for something more like a rubber material. As it is, when you take it out of the packaging you MUST let it sit in the sun for a full day (preferably a hot day) so that it softens up the material enough to lay flat. You will NOT be able to reshape this by hand into a useable form. Once its flattened out, expect to get stuck in place as the wheels of your chair sink into the material.This mat is so incredibly hard yet so thin at the same time, its seriously confusing... I never thought I'd be confused by a floor mat yet here I am. Life continues to surprise me.In short, it works... its a floor mat and protects my carpet. Worth the asking price? Absolutely not. I'd say $20 max but I'm reckless and a loose cannon.

I purchased this for my aunt. She lives thousands mikes away from me. She wasn’t able to roll her chair at all. My uncle took it to an office supply store where two different employees told him this chair mat is not for carpet but for wood-“/tile floors. As I live so far away there’s nothing I can do about it. I told my aunt to trash it and I bought another one for her from an office supply store. There went $40 down the drain

I purchased this for my carpeted floor around my desk. I thought this would be a great way to protect, the already messed up floor, but to no avail. The carpet is too shaggy for this to sit flat enough to be rolled on without issue and if I purchased one of the larger and thicker variants, it'd be really expensive and also not do its job as it'd slide around on the carpet. So, I'm at a loss on what to do. Carpet castors are horrible, the roller blade style wheels make moving hard sometimes, the carpet is a mess, and I've got no way to protect said carpet unless I just rip it out of my room... which also isn't an option as it's not my house. I guess sometimes there just isn't a fix.

While this is a pretty good floor mat, since it was packaged rolled up, it took way more effort to try and get this to lay flat and even now there are still spots that just won't stay down. After you get it flat, trying to roll your chair over it feels like a struggle because it was rolled up and created an almost wavey surface where the wheels get caught in the dips.Once you get over those facts, the mat serves its purpose but if I had to buy another one, I might try another brand.

Working from home this past year due to the pandemic, I was starting to wear my new carpet in my home office from my rolling desk chair. I found this and gave it a try. It comes rolled up and after a few days it still wasn't flat. I used a heat gun to relax the rubber and it worked great. Know that your office will smell like an old tire store for about a week but it does go away. My only complaint is that it is so thin it will leave small impressions of your chair wheels and you can feel it when you roll your chair. They do for away in a day or two. But it does as it says and protects the carpet.

Just what I needed.
