FMVIOL Office Chair Mat for Hardwood & Tile Floor, 55"x35" Computer Gaming Rolling Chair Mat, Under Desk Low-Pile Rug, Large Anti-Slip Floor Protector for Home Ofiice (Black)

So far, so good

For years I was using one of those suction cup plastic hardwood protector floor mats for my home desk, but I could not stand the rolling my chair would do as the mat provided no traction for the wheels of my chair. On top of that the plastic would crack over time, it would deform, and overall I just hated how poorly it stuck to the floor. No more! After switch to this carpeted mat I can say for certain that if you have a hardwood floor, and a desk with a chair that isn't going to be moving from its location, then you need to buy this! The carpet is easy to clean with a vacuum, it provides great traction for the wheels of the chair, and the adhesion of the mat is by far the best of any I have tried to date. (not that a couple years later the corners and edges of the mat haven't started to come unstuck, but that's what dust and weekly vacuuming will do)

Purchased a few years ago to protect my floor after my chair scratched it up a bunch. Today its still intact and doing its job. It has begun to wear down some but I imagine it could still go another 2 or 3 years before truly falling apart. It has an adhesive on the bottom but I chose not to peel the layer sealing it off and just use it as a normal mat and there's been no issues from doing this. Overall the product is cheap and effective for what its for, but will not last forever if put under constant wear.

I love the tacky backing that isn't going to leave residue but keeps the mat firmly in place. It definitely gets the job done. However. This thing sheds more than a dozen huskies. I have had it down for a couple weeks now and it's STILL shedding. I have to vacuum every couple of days to pick up the residue. The reason I haven't marked it down more is that I'm hoping that it will eventually stop shedding - only so much can come off right? It's also kind of cheap feeling - it's thin and the edges show some of the tacky material below. Still, it works for what I needed. Ultimately, if it doesn't stop shedding at some point I'll have to knock off a star or two.

Read the reviews and sellers recommendations for install I ironed the fold creases prior to installing. When ready to install I pulled off the clear plastic from the white pad backing. Install was easy with 2 people. We placed one end down and pressed down as we laid the pad down. No wrinkles, lays flat. Chair rolls easy and I don’t have to worry about the chair rolling out from underneath me as it did on hard wood floor. Since this is my art room I am not worried about paint getting on pad and it was inexpensive enough to replace in a few years if needed. I believe this was a good buy.
