Floortex® Polycarbonate Square Chair Mat Carpets up to 1/2" - 48" x 48"

Ok, did some serious comparisons based on customer reviews found online for many different brands and qualities of chairmats. It boils down to "you get what you pay for." I suppose the floor type, ie hardwood/tile/cement/carpet has a big bearing on choice as well. You don't want to get a softer type plastic chairmat for a carpeted floor where as that may work ok for a hard flooring. Hate to say it, but your weight has to be taken into consideration. I'm 240 lbs, so a softer mat might be problematic on some floors as you may find your chair wheels sinking into softer mats. I have an industrial type carpet, weigh 240, and needed something a little bit on the rigid side. Using the Broyhill Big & Tall office chair with its 5 roller wheels (also bought at Walmart), this chairmat works great. Shipped and rolled in a box, it unrolled flat and took no time to even out on the floor. Low odor went away quickly. Have had it near a month and use it moderately. No problems thus far. No disappointments.
