The dimensions are good for home use: desk and computer. The thickness could be increased to avoid slight sinking under the wheels when stationary, even on a Berber. These indentations, however, do return to their original shape when the chair is moved. So far, this is the best product I've found for this purpose. The beveled edges are particularly important to me for sliding on and off when a larger area for chair movement is occasionally needed. [...]

Not thick enough to use on Berber carpet as advertised. Don't waste your money as I did. Wish I could have seen before ordering, I relied on 'truth in advertising' to much. I'm not at all happy with product. If I had not special ordered for pickup at store, I'd return and purchase heavier model carried in store.

Comments about Staples® Low Pile Carpet Chair Mat, Standard Lip, 36" x 48":

Using the Staples Low Pile Carpet Mat allows me to roll while sitting on my chair in front of my computer effortlessly. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to move because of the carpeting. It also keeps my shoes from dirtying up the carpet especially in bad weather. I like the grid pattern design that comes from the teeth on the underside that grips the carpet. It is a nice looking heavy duty clear plastic and it will last for several years, so I can say it is well made. The lip is a brilliant design feature that fits naturally under the desk. I plan on buying the same one that is can be used on a hardwood floor for my home office.

    With Staples, the product is of good quality, fair price and it arrived the next day. We find it to be well constructed and supports a large desk chair without making identations in the pad.

      Too thin for designed purpose. Any weight leaves indentation in mat, cheaply made. Thickness needs to be doubled. I bought two and would like my money back.

        We have had multiple floor mats that have cracked and curled on the edges within a short time of installing them - even though they were the correct ones for our office situation. This mat seems strong and pliable enough to stand up to the rolling of our desk chairs. The underside nubs do a good job of gripping the carpet, yet are not so sharp they are impossible to handle without getting cut. And it has a lifetime warranty!!! We liked the first so much that we just purchased a second for our other office chair.

          i have a computer chair with roller wheels in my home office,like the one shown on this Staples BerberMat page.it is on a firm textured wool carpet.

          moving the chair is not easy even if there is no one sitting in it.

          my question is:will the BerberMat make the chair easier to move?

            This particular mat has spikes beneath the mat that grip the carpet. For hardwood floors see item #491789 or item #567295 which are smooth on the bottom and do not scratch the floors.

          • VERIFIED BUYER

            A:

            I don't think it would be good for wood floors as it has sharp tacks on the one side to keep from sliding. They are small as this is for berber or short carpet. I don't think it would be the best choice.

        • Q:

          We have a very short carpet without padding, so I'll need a mat doesn't raise off the carpet (grippers) and where the mat itself is STIFF and doesn't allow the wheels of the chair to settle into the mat causing the chair not roll freely. Is this the right mat for what we need?

          • A:

            This one gradually develops deep indentations wherever chair legs or casters sit in one place for any length of time, making it difficult for a chair to roll.

            Susan,
            I think the Staples Berber Mat would work perfectly for you. I have berber carpet (it does have padding) but the grippers on the bottom of this mat are short, not like the other mats I have seen. My chair also rolls very smoothly on this mat. It's also a good price especially when you use their coupons. If I were you I would give it a try.
