Amazon Basics Polycarbonate Office Chair ‎Rectangular Mat for Hard Floors, 47 x 51-Inch, Clear

I ordered this to protect my hardwood floor from the wheels on my desk chair. The mat is not as clear as I would have liked, but it is sturdy and will protect my floor. I am very satisfied with the mat.I was reluctant to open the box when it arrived due to all of the warnings about how one could get injured. I wrapped the rolled mat in a thin blanket, put one knee on the blanket and cut the plastic band from around the mat. I slowly released the pressure as the mat unfurled and I was unharmed. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

It comes rolled up, but when you cut the center plastic wrap, stand back a little because it is thick & stiff enough to open quickly & lay flat on the floor, except for a little curl on the ends from being rolled, then after a little while, it's perfect. 😊 It's better than the others that I've seen.

It did not arrive in a roll as some reviews have indicated. It arrived between flat sheets of cardboard and was perfectly flat when installed and has remained so. It replaced a carpet looking protector with rubber backing that I purchased from Amazon that would only lay flat if a chair wasn't on it. Go ahead and pay a little extra for the polycarbonate. You'll be glad you did.

What more can I say other than it does the job, but is very flimsy and delicate.

Get someone to help you cut the packaging open. It “springs to life” and could possibly injure you. However it lays completely flat against my hardwood floor. No curls or weighting edges down. Going to purchase another one.

It was tempting to lay this floor mat with the shinny side up, but the only instruction that came with this polycarbonate was to lay it with the coarse side up. Which we did. it works very well on our new ceramic flooring. The wheels on our chairs are narrow rollerblade style and they roll vey smoothly. If a wheel rolls off the mat it's not an issue because the mat is only 1/8" thick and it rolls back on easily.These mats are the solution to our flooring/chair dilemma.

Came in fine be working so far

Looks a lotU better, more durable, cleaner, than one with a lip that I got my husband 1-2 yrs ago. Might upgrade his next ... Hmm ...

Excelente, sirve perfecto, la silla redactar bien, no se mueve aun en piso liso

Ordered this larger chair mat for new vinyl plank flooring when using a chair with casters. It was the last one and was used, very good condition with a damaged box. The box was very damaged but the mat inside was not. However this mat has a very small (maybe 1/16") sharp lip on the side that goes on the flooring and I believe it would eventually cut right through the flooring. This lip was all the way around. As it was the last mat, we made a decision to sand the lip off using ordinary fine sandpaper, rather than return the item to Amazon. Sanding was easy to do and seemed to work fine. So BEWARE if placing on soft flooring as I am sure you will eventually damage the floor.

Was a bit smaller than anticipated (I got the smallest option) and it slips on the hardwood floor. This being said it came flat in the box which was very convenient and it is protecting the floor from my office chair. Overall happy with the product

I wanted this mat for something a little less orthodox. I had a vinyl table protector on a wooden table that just looked cheap. Clear glossy plastic that showed ripples and wrinkles from every angle and never laid flat. I finally got rid of it and tried to find better. But all the reviews for other products had the same complaints.So I started thinking outside the box and finally found hard floor desk chair protectors. This one by Amazon Basics was decently priced and was bigger than I needed so the overly rounded corners wouldn’t be an issue.I’m so glad I convinced my wife to let me try it. The polycarbonate sprung right to near perfect flatness the moment I unwrapped it, unlike vinyl protectors. I laid in on the table and used a sharpie held to the table’s edge to trace my size. Then was able to cut fairly straight lines with aviation snips and sanded the edges to lose any sharpness.The end result is fantastic and it’s super durable. It lets the white of the table top show without me having to worry about scratches and stains from my kids. If, down the road, the kids damage this top in any way, it’s much easier to replace than the refinish the wooden tabletop. I also feel like the only way they could damage it is some sort of staining liquid that I didn’t clean off quickly. So I think this will hold up very well. I can only image it would work well for wheels of a desk chair as well.

This is a great mat. It definitely protects the surface below and is quite durable. I had a different one that I was using but I got an addition to my desk(L shaped now) so I needed to cover a larger area. I wanted it for a carpeted area and this one has no points on the bottom. I needed the large size so purchased it anyways. It is thinner than the previous one I had but because I am using it on carpet it does move around a bit which isn’t a hazard or a big deal but just an inconvenience to push it back in place every time I sit at my desk. It definitely would be better for hardwood etc as it is advertised but it does do the job. I’m sure if I could find another one as big as this with the carpet anchors I would return this but I will keep it and be happy. It hasn’t gotten scratched and it’s very easy to see the surface through it. Still a great purchase.
