A great chair mat
I'm puzzled that the reviews aren't better on this. We bought two of these, one being used with a Staples Sorina Chair and the other with a Herman Miller Aeron with standard casters, both on short (3/8-1/2") carpeting. Both are being used by pretty lightweight (under 125 pounds) people, and maybe that explains it. Or maybe some of the reviews aren't correctly attributed...

Do not buy
Horrible chairmat. Divits from chair after 1 hour of use and the divits stay. Hard to move chair around due to divits! I only weight 165 lbs. Not beveled around edge as advertised (false ad). Do not recommend ANY of the Staples brand chair mats!

Chair Mat
The chair mat is so much better than the flat, clear chair mats. I don't hear any cracking from moving my chair over this mat.

Good Quality Mat
I am very happy with the quality, price and manageability as it stayed flat from the beginning unlike others that I had before. It is very easy to roll my chair back and forth and it looks like it will last.

Stays securely in place
I have low-pile carpet and my previous chair mat had a mind of its own, sliding under my desk and causing a tripping hazard. This one hasn't moved an inch in 2 weeks! Success!

Black Low-Pile Chair Mat
I gave this mat 4 stars because I love that it hasn't moved at all in the week that I have used it but being black, it shows everything. Dirt, footprints and white dog hair but it was worth it not having to move it every other day.

chair mat is great
When it came it was curled, but we laid it out for the day and it flattened beautifully.

Definitely a lip!
I have to say that I like this mat a lot - it is everything I needed except in one way - the description says "No Lip." When I read that, I thought the edge would have been beveled so that the wheels would make a smooth transition from the floor to the mat. That is not so....There is definitely a lip! When I roll off the mat I have to lift my chair to get it back up ...

Loved the option for a black mat.
Not quite as thick as I thought it might be, but is sufficient for my minimal use.

Blends well
It very nice and blends in well, it so better than the clear plastic ones. The only thing was it was so dirty when i got it had to clean it off. maybe it should be wrap on delivery.

Great mat
So far I like it. It’s not thin and flimsy. It should hold up better than past mats I have used. I love the black color.

Ease of rolling.
This mat is pretty nice. It makes it a lot easier to roll around my area, as before I was on carpet. I am glad it is a thin mat, so if I roll off, it is easy to roll back on.

Carpet chair mat
This is our 3rd purchase this year. The mats are sturdy and allow our chairs to glide smoothly at the desks.

It is working out perfect so far! So glad that I did not get the plastic one, as I had one of them before and they buckle under rolling chair wheels! Thank you!

This is just what we needed!
Good mat, sturdy to place on carpet and keeps the chair from caving into the carpet.

It is excellent. Just what I needed to cover a slight hole in the carpet where the chair had rolled on it.

divots/indent formed immediately, chair gets stuck
Divots formed as soon as I put down the chair. I tried moving mat around. I tried adding more carpet padding. More divots. Chair gets stuck. I weigh 130 lbs. I use a standard office chair- no expensive heavy weight specialty chair. I have standard double wheels to spread the weight- not single wheel roller wheels (I read they cause divots). Don't have enough words to ...
