Chair Mat for Carpeted Floor with Lip

I’m taking a few minutes to write a review based on reaction from some of the other reviews I saw posted when I was shopping for a chair mat.I wanted to help out people that may be stressing out from some saying “looks nice but slides all over”. It doesn’t, read below to help you decide.I have been working from my home office for the last few months. So I needed a mat to put down on my hardwood floors to protect them from wear from my office chair.I wanted a clear mat so it doesn’t detract from the hard wood flooring. I also wanted one with a “lip” to go under the desk for my feet as well as a surface area for the chair. I found this 47”x36” one in the SHAREWIN Chair Mats for hard wood floors. Price was great at $26.99 and perfect footprint for looks and performance in a home office.So what’s the problem? Well, I kept seeing mixed reviews...some satisfied but some saying it slips and moves around too much. Oh no..who wants a chair mat that slips and moves around. Argh!Well, I decided to take a chance. I mean, at that price, it’s not a huge deal if it doesn’t work out. So, I place the order, I get the mat and now it’s time to put it to the test.First I unroll the mat and lay it down to straighten out and “uncurl”. They are shipped rolled up and wrapped, so they have to settle and lay down (time varies but usually by morning at room temperature they are flat). I put books on the corners of mine to help it flatten out. As I was doing that I did notice it seemed to slide around a bit. But, I gave it overnight to settle.The next day I pick up the books and it’s nice and flat. Now it’s on to the “slipping” test. I place it in front of my desk and *important* put the SLICK clear side down and the slightly textured/frosted side up. I put my chair on the mat. I rolled my chair around, pushed on the mat with my feet...and nothing, it stayed in place and worked perfectly fine...all day. Success! My search was over and I paid less than I had planned. Another great product found on Amazon.I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and still no problems. If you pick up the sides and pull up it will lose contact with the floor and slide wherever you move it. Then simply place it back down flat on the floor and it stays in place. Don’t worry about people saying it slides all over. If it’s sliding on them then maybe it’s a polish or coating or something on their floor (or they have the wrong side down). This mat itself has no problems, it grips the floor and works well.So hopefully that helps out anyone on the fence like I was about it. Great price, great product, no worries.

This chair mat has helped protect my floor. I installed an engineered hardwood floor in my home office over a year ago, when I removed the carpet. The engineered hardwood floor looks beautiful and I want it to last, but the wheels on the desk chair stopped rolling and just slid across the floor, because the floor is smooth and not textured. This dragging motion started to show signs of wear on the floor under the chair. I put this chair mat down to save my floor and it has stopped the dragging motion and loosened the wheels to be able to roll again because the chair mat is slightly textured on one side to promote the wheels to roll. The chair mat is performing nicely and has helped save my floor for years to come.Make sure you wash the floor from dust before putting it on the floor so it doesn't slip. I am very happy with this product and it seems to stay in place.

This SHAREWIN office chair mat is a great and affordable solution for anyone looking to protect their hardwood floors. It does exactly what it's supposed to do—it protects my floor from scuffs and scratches, and it's super easy to clean.The mat works great for rolling my chair around, and I'm very happy with its performance overall. The only downside I've found is that it does slide around on my floor quite a bit. I find myself having to reposition it fairly often throughout the day.Despite that one small issue, for the price, this is a fantastic product and I would highly recommend it as an effective floor protector.

really nice! Was worried as it comes rolled up but after rolling it out it was flat in a few minutes. It comes with pads to put on the corners to hold it down which is nice

Very difficult to handle. The plastic pins that are molded in to hold the mat from moving are very sharp and I had to use baking mittens to remove them from the boxes and spreading them out really does need two people. Really difficult with just one person. After being taken out of the shipping boxes they do flatten out. (over 24 hours) The ones I have are 30 inches side to side and five wheeled office chairs just barely fit on and since the holding spikes are over very short carpet pile the chair, at least initially, does not move easily over the mat because the spikes create little valleys between the spikes. The chair moves easily when no one is sitting on it, but any normal weight on it makes for a bumpy difficult ride. Make sure you measure the width distance in the leg well of a desk. If it has legs directly on either side of the opening you may have to do some minor surgery, as I did to fit it in around the legs. Most of the problems were my fault because it didn't occur to me to think there would be a problem but I am using them and in spite of a little difficulty with mobility they do cover the area and help keep it clean.

Okay. I know you get what you pay for; but, I didn't want much. I ordered this for my home office. This thing finally quit curling a couple of months in. It still slips and moves all over the place, even with the "free gift" of sticky dots to keep in in place. Luckily, I don't entertain clients in my office and the floor is linoleum. I have resorted to duct taping it in place.

I bought this SHAREWIN office chair mat to protect my wood and tile floors, and it works really well. The mat is heavy-duty and durable, handling my rolling office chair with ease without scratching the floor underneath. It’s large enough to cover a good area and the clear design blends nicely with my room. The PVC material is thick and sturdy, so it doesn’t curl up or move around. Overall, a great investment to keep floors safe while working. Highly recommend for anyone with hard floors!
