    Overall the quality of mat that was good, but unless you read the reviews (which I hope you do) the photo does not do the size justice. Unfortunately we didn’t look at the dimensions and went by the photo and bought to one for under each of our gaming chairs. When we got here it was so large we only needed one and had to get to the store to return the other one.

    Simple to lay out and works great. Looks good on a wood floor. Very smooth for a business chair.

    Mat not meeting expectations.

    I was truly hoping that this mat would meet my expectations, but the opposite happened. I am disabled, and I keep tripping over it with my crutches because this mat won't unfold completely.

    Light weight and easy to rearrange and move to different spots . It has though started to curl up on the corners and hasn’t gone down from when we first got it . But it doesn’t scratch wooden floors which was my worry but it doesn’t and it doesn’t slide around.

    Good mat for a hard floor, but a little thin for medium carpet. I bought this because of the large size (fits perfectly underneath a folding table) and good price. I had hoped it would work better on carpet, but it does indent a lot more than expected. It still makes it easier to roll on than the carpet with my desk chair, but I may need to purchase the thicker carpet mat and put 2 of them side-by-side. I gave it 4-star because it is thin for my needs, but the picture was clear about it's use.

    Decent floor mat

    Its size is a huge plus for my L-shaped desk as it was the only one of that size with a price I was willing to pay. However, I've got it tucked between the carpet and the desk legs, resulting in bunching at the center leg of the desk. I currently have the smooth side down, but may flip it over and try the other side to minimize slippage on the carpet. It is working well, but just not prime.

    You'll definitely want to use this mat on a solid surface (not carpet or another soft flooring material). It is great that it is so large so you can roll your chair around, but it does depress a bit, even on a hard surface. Overall, it works well for me and my needs.

    Not bad, plastic and comes rolled up. Little hard to get and keep flat even after about 2 weeks. Edges are up about an inch and if not paying attention could trip on.

    Perfect size for a 56 inch desk. You do need to set it for a few days to flatten after opening but once set, it's good quality. Protects wood floors nicely while allowing the wood to show.

    It's ok for the price. Large. Doesn't lay completely flat, but not to the point of being a hazard. Service from Best Buy was good as always.

    • Brand response from Deflecto Product Expert
      Posted .

      Sorry to hear about your experience, Haeb. Please note there are several things to consider to have a great hard floor chair mat experience:
      1.) Clean the hard floor surface and allow it to dry before placing the chair mat
      2.) Use - Amount of time on your mat
      3.) Load – Weight of the chair and person
      The long the Use and the larger the Load, you should choose a thicker or multi-surface chair mat for a great experience. Let us know how else we can help.

    We got this for our wood floor so the chairs wheels wouldn’t damage the floor. Overall really transparent clear and nice. Only negative thing is watch your step on it or else it may slide out of place. No issues with it moving while sitting in the chair but I have almost slipped stepping on it.

    Great price! Fast delivery! Very good & heavy duty quality. No smell noticed (mentioned in another review). I got two and am a happy customer! My only request would be to make the BB website more "user friendly" -- it was a bit slow to navigate and I was in a hurry.

    I did not measure my space before I made this purchase so the mat is on the large side for my use. I'll give it to my daughter instead of returning it though. It's of a very durable material. I like that most of all.
