Evolve 33" x 44" Clear Office Chair Mat with Rounded Corners for Low Pile Carpets, Made in The USA, C5B5003G

I did a lot of shopping before getting this mat. It’s clear for the most part, extremely durable. I’m sitting in my chair from 7-4 during the week! I’ve had it for over six months and no cracking or curling. Looks great in my space, which isn’t big! And it’s doing what I need it to do, allowing me to move around seamlessly and protecting my carpet!

You would crack too if you had a 250-pound guy on a desk chair sitting on you for 12 hours per day. It is still fully functional and I have to look hard for the crack.

I thought I had what I would call a low pile carpet however my chair sunk in and left big dents every time I sat down. I could not roll and it was causing a lot of leg fatigue. I was going to order the next thicker one but after reading reviews on it I found it was doing the same thing so not even going to try it. So sad as this seems to be a good quality product out of the box, it unrolled after a day with books laid on it. Not sure how I am going to roll it back up to return. I felt the price was in line, I just wish it would have worked for me.

This mat is just the right size for protecting the carpet and accommodating my computer chair without being too large. My armoire has a drop-down tabletop on one side. Placed on the floor in reverse position, this mat is narrow enough to extend a couple of inches under the table without having to sit underneath its leg. It's hard for just one person to unroll the first time alone because it's fairly thick and stiff, and you have to be careful of the grips underneath. But you want it to be a tough mat. I managed to unroll it just enough to get two legs of the chair on top... and after that it was easy! I'm considering ordering a second, in case this mat isn't available later. We've had lots of these through the years, but this one is perfect.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: the size is great for under my office desk. But the smell is AWFUL!!! I even had my door shut and the next day when I came into the office you could smell the mat outside in the hallway. :-(

So far, I have been very pleased with this office chair mat. I've had others that tended to roll and shift. This one remains in place, and my chair rolls easily across its surface.

I was looking for a replacement chair mat as my old one (15 years!) was looking ratty. I choose this one due to the rounded corners which better suits my needs. I read reviews on this particular mat (36x48) w/grips and reluctantly purchased it. Nearly a week in use and so far so good. Mat remains in place (8' round low pile rug) and the rounded edges look great w/the contour of the rug. The mat is pretty thick but the wheels from my chair do leave 'dents' in the mat. However, I observed the 'dents' go away after a while when not sitting in the chair. As this mat came rolled up in a box, it had to be flexible and I guess the indentations are expected due to that factor. Time will tell if this mat holds up over an extended time but for now it works and the price was reasonable.

Regret buying this and would return if I didn't miss my return window by 2 days... There are no pros for me. Just cons. I'll list them out in no particular order. - Annoying to setup. Have to let it flatten out in the sun for a while. It will still curl on the edges after us. - Smells bad. Cleaning with soap helps... just another setup step. - Extremely thin. This doesn't hold up on low-pile carpet. It leaves deep craters that your chair just keeps falling back into (even with oversized wheels). The craters distort the thing and cause the edges to furl/curl so if you move the chair off the plastic, it get's stuck on a edge curl. So you're always stuck either on or off the thing. - Low-pile and even medium-pile carpet is easier to glide my chair on and leaves less craters than this. - It still slides, somehow. The spikes are tiny and don't grip the carpet. The mat keeps sliding. I really wish I could return this. Almost feel scammed in a way and should have paid more attention to the 1-2 star reviews.
