BesWin Office Chair Mat for Carpet, 48'' x 60'' Clear Floor Mat for Low and No Pile Carpeted Floors, Thick and Sturdy Carpet Protector for Work, Home, Gaming, Easy Glide and Flat Without Curling

Works like it should. I've only had it a few days but the quality of the plastic seems durable. The bottom is spiked so when it's in the carpet it's not moving. I got it to go over two area rugs and since the rugs are not that thick and on hardwood you can feel the spikes when the chair rolls over. It's more for carpeted rooms.

This was delivered on a very cold day and sat on my porch for several hours so when I pulled it out of the box the plastic was very stiff! My daughter and I had to work at it to unroll it and then we used a space heater and her body weight and heat to flatten it!Now it's perfect though! It's exactly the right size for the space, my chair glides easily across it, the teeth grip and hold it in place so it doesn't slide around on my carpet and it lays flat. It feels very durable and wipes down easily! Great quality for the price!

Came rolled in a box . Some what difficult to unroll . Must put a heavy weight on end then roll it a little then put more weight until completely unrolled. It was somewhat flat after 48 hours with the temperature high about 58. The sun came out , then put in the sun . That works the best . After about 6 hours was flat enough to place on floor. it does what I bought it to do . Just be aware it is not open then use . Must be allowed to flatten with heavy weight. Thickness is good .Not rigid .

1) Keeps carpet clean2) Reliable to roll fancy town chair on without hitting carpet or sides of design3) You have to flatten it upside down for a day, so you will have six, eight, or ten things to straighten in a day. I used unpacked ammunition boxes, and it was ready this morning. It took 20 hours.4) It's Easy to clean. I'd rather clean this than spilled coffee and Danish off the carpet. I work from home, so this makes me more comfortable. Reasonable pricing, solid material. It's big. Measure carefully. Too big is better than too small.

There are a few reasons you should not buy this chair mat. First, it comes rolled up very tight and is really difficult to unroll. The vendor suggests unrolling it and laying it out flat (as you can) with weights on it for 72 hours to get it to flatten. Second, it is soft and thin. My office chair has soft roller blade wheels yet every time I want to move the chair I have to first dislodge it from the divot that has formed under the wheels. The vendor asks you not to leave the chair in one place for too long. And third, if like me, you want to return it, it's just too big of a hassle to to try and roll it up to fit in that narrow box. So, summary, difficult to work with; poor flatness; poor firmness; and even though mine is new I highly question its durability. Don't make the same mistake that I did.

It took a few days for it to flatten out - and it finally did.However, the mat is thin and flexible. My chair creates indents that are just as bad as if I was still on the carpet.If you weight more than 100lbs - get a sturdier one.

The media could not be loaded. This mat is surprisingly solid for just being a large piece of glass. Honestly, I thought that it will shatter right away when I will sit on my (already quite heavy) computer chair, but it didn't which was very impressive.I am using this mat since around 10 days now, and it still holds very well. I previously used one of those plastic mat that get damaged pretty quickly, after rolling on it for a few weeks, and also doesn't give my wheels a smooth slide. But this glass mat gives me the best smooth ride while being on my chair, and was the best experiment and purchase I've done on Amazon for my desktop accessories.Only downside of this mat that I can find, is the fact that I should have chosen the larger version, because I find myself wheeling outside of the glass panel all the time while on my chair. But I wanted to first test the small panel to see how that kind of glass could handle my weight (270lbs), before purchasing a bigger one.

This isn't going to be a comment on the performance of this mat as it's been less than a day since I received it, and, according to the enclosed flyer, it may take three days before I can use it. No, this is a comment on the horrible packaging of the mat and the 90 minutes it took for me to open the boxes and unspool the large 48"x60" mat. It's customer abuse. It makes the most complex IKEA assembly look like putting together a child's wooden puzzle.First off, I received a tall, brown, corregated box (7"x12"x58"). It bore no Amazon markings or Amazon tape so I assume the box was from the manufacturer. (I, of course, don't know that for a certainty.) I opened it. Inside was another tall, brown corregated box (5.5"x5.5"x48"). I opened it. Inside was the wound mat, curled up like a small rug or bolt of cloth. I took it out and Immediately tried to unwind it. It didn't open easily so I searched for tape or some other binding holding the mat so firmly wound. Nope. It was just super tightly spooled and not going to be unspooled easily.To be clear, I'm not talking about a soft, pliable sheet. No, as described on the site, this is a hard, 2.2 mm thick, "premium PVC" mat with 3 mm spikes. Irony alert: "The rolled up package is easy to carry," says the Amazon site. "But it is easy to flatten, just add as much weight as possible to the corners and it will flatten." The enclosed flyer adds: "Your mat will gradually regain and retain it's [sic] flat state. The could take up to 72 hours..."I won't describe in detail the improvised process I used to unroll the mat, only to say that it took about 6 inches at a time to unspool it, leveraging two small boxes to wedge against the roll to keep it from reversing and rolling back up while I employed octopus-like contortions to simultaneously position heavy objects on the mat and unroll it while kneeling or standing on the unspooled portion. All while those 3 mm spikes were ripping into me and whatever heavy objects I tried to use. The five-pound sacks of gardener's pebbles were no match to the stiff premium PVC. I wound up securing the four corners with two large tool boxes, a box of photographic equipment supplemented with a bag of coins, and the two-volumn condensed Oxford English Disctionary.So that's how things lie right now. The flyer suggests that the flattening process might be speeded up a bit by placing the weighted-down mat "in a warm room or near a sunny window." Well, it's 13-degrees here as I write this review; the heat's at full blast, and I'm still wearing a thick sweater here at the keyboard. Warm and sunny are relative, I guess, but I don't think I'm going to make a lot of progress on that front. I might, however, give my wife's hair dryer a try.Addendum: It's been two weeks now since I unspooled the mat and 10 days since I placed it. It's lying mostly flat, but about one-third of the total area--not permanently secured by the wieght of the desk and my occupied chair--remains noticeably bowed. The bow on leading (unsecured) edge is one-and-a quarter-inch off the carpet.
