I unpacked the mat a couple days ago. At first it wasn't flat because it was rolled up in a box for shipping. It was flattened out a lot over the past couple days. I expect it will be completely flat in a few more days. Initially I oriented the mat width wise, but found that I roll back and forward more than side to side. I have the mat depth wise and it works better this way for me. The length of the mat is enough to cover the distance from scooting the chair out to stand up or scooting all the way in. I purchased this to protect our floor from scruff marks caused by the casters on my office chair. At first the mat slid around a little bit. Now that it's mostly flattened out it stays in place.

Chair Mat is of good quality and works well. Verify the shipping info before ordering. The item was left leaning against my front door by an unknown delivery company/method. Read more
The thickness is nice. It lies flat. It covers up the (non-functional) vent on my floor so that my chair's wheels don't get stuck in it. The price is right, and I don't regret my purchase. However, the mat does slip a bit, contrary to how it's advertised. The product images show a deeply grooved "anti-sip" grid texture on the underside. The reality is that there's kind of some very fine lines that you can barely see if you angle it just right in the light. It feels smooth to touch. And it doesn't do much to stop the mat from sliding ever so slightly backward every time I scoot my chair forward. Meaning I have to periodically drag the whole thing forward to keep it from bunching up against the wall behind me. But it is what it is. At this price point, I don't think there's going to be a much better option. I may just add an anti-slip pad underneath it at some point. Read more
Works really well. My chair at my sewing table is secure and no longer try to roll away with me. Plenty of space for me to move my chair back and forth and side to side, and still stay on the mat. The mat was rolled up when it arrived and secured with zip ties and I was afraid that it would not lay flat at the ends where it had been rolled, but I placed my chair on the mat and as it warmed up it settled flat with no problem and sits flat on my hardwood floor. Its a nice thickness, and easy to clean up. As I mentioned I’m using it at my sewing table which means lots of thread and bits of fabric, they sweep off easily, and its also textured just enough that my vaccum is able to clean it. So far I am pleased, and its working as I expected. Read more
Purchased mine less than a year ago. I used it under my nail desk on the client side of the desk. It did well for the first 5-6 months. After which the edges starting curling up. My clients or myself would almost trip on the edges. I flipped it around so the curled side would sit under the desk rather than in the walking area. The edges started curling there too. It did well for the short time I had it. But not recommended for professional daily wear. Read more
So to be fair, the product 'does what it says on the box' but frankly starts to have problems only a couple months into decent use. Pro: -Looks good (at least at first) -Super light Cons: -The outer edges roll upward over time (pretty severely in my experience) -Price for quality (It's pretty much a cut piece of plastic sheet) A little more in-depth: So at first I was super happy with the product. The fact that it comes in a roll means that at first it is super bent but if you put the right side down it seems to work itself out after a week or so. However; it's real downfall is that as time goes on the product curls up at the ends. I think its a result of the pliability of the product giving way to what is essentially a lot of pretty on some very narrow chair wheels (Okay, I'm only 180lb. I'm not ALL that fat). The metaphor I would use would be like making a pizza dough: as you press on the middle and it stretches out, it forces the out edges up and out. It's too bad, even if you try to flip it over the problem just gets worse and worse. On the sides mine now has 2"+ lips that you trip over and if roll too far you find yourself trying to do the truffle shuffle over the world's smallest plastic tank trap. Company seems super involved. They have automated requests for feedback when your chair mat shows up but I can see why they want the feedback immediately. Read more
Does move a little bit on linoleum floors. But works exactly as expected. Read more
Pros: +it's a chair mat that your office chair can sit and roll around on Cons: -the wheels of my office chair get caught on the edges of the mat often -the mat never really fully lays flat, and furl up/be bent easily if your wheels get caught on the mat -the mat slides around easily on carpet and doesn't stay in place Read more
