Floortex® Vinyl Lipped Chair Mat Hard Floor 36" x 48"

After reading the reviews, I was hesitant to purchase this clear mat. It was rolled (not accordion folded) in a large box when received at the store. Upon arriving home, I removed it from the box, unrolled it and laid it on the back porch. It flattened out in a couple hours with only a porch chair on one edge. I brought it inside soon thereafter due to the weather getting colder and put it in front of the computer desk. It laid perfectly flat and is the floor protection desired. I expect it to outlast me. The quality, shipping and price made a very good experience for us senior citizens.

Until this purchase, I had been buying a similar product at Staples. This unit is slightly smaller in size, but it was nearly $20 cheaper. It does a fabulous job of protecting my rug, and it doesn't have those plastic cleats on the bottom that dig into your rug to secure it in place. This mat stays in place anyway. The other reason I like this mat is because unlike the ones I was purchasing at Staples, it is one whole piece. The other had a seam in the middle, which is where the plastic would always crack. I would suggest, however, having this product shipped to your home instead of site-to-store. It's a rather large and awkward package to try and juggle.
