HON Office Chair Mat for Carpet, Computer Desk Chair Mat for Carpeted Floors, Easy Glide for Office or Home with Extended Lip (36” x 48”)

I've been using these mats for YEARS! They last a fantastically long time, and it takes a lot of pressure to wear it down. Whatever plastic they're using for these is sturdy stuff.It came wrapped up in a slender box, and the instructions say to make sure you have another pair of hands to help you unwrap it. The mat is crazy heavy when its rolled up and incredibly difficult to unroll by yourself. I do highly recommend getting someone else to help, especially since it likes to re-roll if there's nothing holding it down.Speaking of which, you'll need some heavy books (or furniture) to keep the ends from rolling up. But after a day or two under heavy weight, it stays in place. It's easy to keep clean and camouflages very well with the environment since it's clear plastic. It's also a great size to fit into most places!I can't recommend this product enough!

This gets really stiff when rolled up, so plan to put some heavy stuff on it to settle it.

I wish I would have bought a little big larger.

For some reason the manufacturer or distributor opted to have this product rolled up and shipped as a tube. This may not sound like a big deal since hey, most mat-like items probably ship that way. However, given that this item is made of such a tough plastic this creates two major hurdles:The first hurdle is that unrolling it to lay down is borderline impossible, and is definitely impossible as a single individual. The material is so rigid and is fighting so hard to return to its original tube-shape that it is pulling against you with incredible force as you try to unravel it. Meaning that if you release it at all it snaps back into its tube shape. It took me and the wife working together just to get this thing unrolled to lay on the ground without it violently springing back into a tube shape.The second and more damning hurdle is that it means this thing is never going to be flat. After the battle to get this thing laid down on the floor we tried standing on either edge to try and get it to flatten and you can feel it constantly fighting against you. I have now had this down under my computer chair for two months and both sides are STILL raised/curled because the only way you could really flatten them and keep them flat would likely be to lay a heavy beam on either side to leave it for days until its shape changes.Otherwise it's a pretty standard hard-plastic desk mat with gripping teeth on the bottom. No better or worse than any other one I have had. If they just shipped this thing flat it would be fine.

I weigh 200 pounds and this mat made it nearly 4 years before I had to replace it due to cracking. I am at my desk for at least 40 hours per week. I am not too sure how long they are supposed to last but 4 years seemed reasonable given the high use.

While this mat will likely protect your carpet in the long-run, the other aspects of this made me wish I would have gone with another brand. First, as most mentioned, getting this to lay flat is hard. The packaging size makes it so the mat needs to be tightly rolled, which is further exacerbated by the cold weather. I have had 50lb weights on it for two days, and it is still curling. Im sure this will go away after some time, but holy cow is this unnecessarily annoying.However, for me, the biggest con of this product is the size. While it boasts about having an extended size for your feet, do you really need protection from the chair there? The mat is EXTREMELY small for what I would think a product like this should be. If you literally never roll around in your chair, this will be okay, but otherwise, any small roll left/right/back will have your chair rolling off the mat onto the carpet, which then snags on the mat because its likely not fully flat as previously discussed.Lastly, a minor issue is that this mat just seems like very thin plastic. After sitting in the same position for ~30 seconds, there are massive divots in the mat and my carpet (which is low pile, so it shouldnt imprint into as much as it is) which make moving harder.All in all, if this product was $20 or $30 I would just be upset and move on. However, for approx $50, these issues should not be happening. I will be asking for a refund on this product and finding a bigger, sturdier one elsewhere.

Great value. Easy shipment. Similar quality to the expensive ones in the office supply store.
