I chose one of the less expensive floor mats as a beginning point. This one would be fine on low pile carpet with very thin or no padding. I am not heavy and the chair wheels sink into the mat and into the padded carpeting. The good part is the mat is sturdy enough it has not cracked in the 2 1/2 months of ownership.

I'm honestly appalled at the high cost of chair mats in general. That said, this mat is honestly too thin for my use, but I knew that to begin with, and refused to spend more for a chair mat. It's a fine chair mat for what it is, but used on a medium pile carpet like I have, it's going to get noticeable dimples that make it a little hard to roll the chair. But since it's not meant for medium pile carpet, I can't really hold that against the product. I can hold the general price of chair mats against the industry, though. *shakes fist*

      Comments about Staples® Flat Pile Carpet Chair Mat, Standard Lip, 36'' x 48'':

      In spite of being designed for carpet, it still "creeps" on the carpet and doesn't stay put. It is too soft and pliable so the chair doesn't roll well and I have a high-end chair. This product needs to be thicker, sturdier to work on carpet.

                I purchased this chair mat because I just carpeted my office, it was very inexpensive and it was the only one small enough to serve the purpose but not take up loads of room. It stays put very nicely and keeps my carpet from getting marred. It makes it easy to move my chair around since my office is very small and I usually just roll over to the fax or printer, I enjoy shopping at staples for my office needs because the site is so easy, the prices are reasonable, I get free next day shipping and they have almost every thing I need.

                      It is perfectly fine. I bought 3 for our office. I may not have bought so many, but the store manager was great and honored my coupon extending it to 3 instead of just 1! I love that kind of customer service!

                            The flat pile chair mat does not work for me. The bottom of the mat has prongs which are too smooth to adequately grip the low pile office carpet by my desk. As s result, the mat has a tendncy to easily slip and slide either under the desk or behind it.
                            It seeps as though the plastic construction is study enough, and the clear finish looks much better that the old one which eventually wore through, but the problem of having to readjust the placement of the mat detracts significantly for ease of use. You should put a floor protector down once and be done with it.

                                Item 561162 is for use on a Berber carpet. It does have cleats on the bottom, but they should not cause damage to your carpet. If you are concerned about the cleats, we do offer a laminated wood chair mat that has rubberized pads on the bottom. It can be used with wood, tile, or hard floors, or any pile carpet- including berber. They come in walnut (item 639097), cherry (item 639091), or oak (item 639092).

                                You need those bubble cleats to hold mat in place. A smoothe surface the matwont stay in place on carpet. I used to sell carpet. Berbers are looped carpets and very durable. Get a 20 oz weight or better on berber she will hold up for ever.

                                Cliff Edge is for deeper pile carpets, and is thicker as makes harder to roll on or off item. Beveled is for carpet also will allow for smoother rolling on or off mat.

                                It is delivered in a rather large box, (about 4'x2' and six inches thick), so the mat is folded to fit in the box. After unfolding it and putting it down on the carpet with a heavy book on one corner, it flattened out in about a day.

                                I believe they will roll or fold it in some way. I bought it in a roll in the store and put it in the back of my car this summer. When I got it out of the car, the roll had flattened within the paper band on it and I was shocked and worried but after applying it to the floor, the folds came out.

                                It will be delivered slightly rolled into a large box. Easily flattened for use and is ready to go. Put the chair on top and you're in business.

                                I bought mine at the store, and it was rolled. I am sure that is how ours would come too.

                              Will this mat stay in place on commercial grade carpet - office floor is not level and current mat does not stay in place and must be adjusted during day.

                              The featured chair mat is called 'traditional' - I need the rectangle shape. How do I order it?

                                This mat has a rectangle shape but at the front the mat forms a lip that slides under the desk. It is not a perfect rectangle. I am not sure how to order the rectangular one.

                                This mat is actually about 35 3/4" from side to side and from front to back, 38" , with the "chair under desk" part making the front to back 48". The small part where your chair rolls under the desk measures 19 3/4(w) x 10(d). (ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE!) Hope that helps!

                              Does the 36" x 48" include the lip or is it 36 x 58 with lip?
