Anji Mountain Office Chairmat Thickest & Sturdy Bamboo Chairmats Highly Premium Quality Anti-Slip Heavy Duty For Multi-Purpose Hardwood Floor Office & Home Floor Protector Office Chair mat-5mm Thick

Overall, I really like this mat. I bought it originally in 2014 to protect the hardwood floor in my rental home, which was getting damaged from the caster wheels of my office chair. Being chemically sensitive, I didn't want a plastic mat with terrible, unpleasant off-gassing that is hazardous to one's health. This was a much more expensive alternative, but I found it functional and very attractive, and it did not activate my chemical sensitivities. It has also proven very durable. Several years later (with an interim period of a couple of years of the mat rolled up in storage, it is still working pretty well. It has some dents from years of use with caster wheels, but overall, the surface still looks very good. I'm finding that the function isn't as good on the carpeted floor of my new home, though. This may also be a result of much heavier foot (and paw) traffic in its new location. It slides out of place and regularly needs readjustment. Some of the slats toward the edge that rides up are getting pushed out of place upward to create a surface that is not flat anymore. I have tried a fix of placing a large binder clip at the edge, the one of gluing the slats back down with wood glue, but this results in a section of mat that is affixed in such a way that that part of the mat can no longer be rolled up as it used to. Sill, after several years, I am still using the mat with fairly good satisfaction despite the annoyances. A vinyl mat would be more convenient in some ways, but those things are ugly as sin and a terribly unhealthy thing to have in one's home.

I saw this roll-up chair mat at a nearby Staples and I was so upset they sell it in a tan colour but not this dark cherry colour, so I found it on Amazon. It's more expensive on Amazon by ~$14 than at the Staple store though, I think maybe matching the price would be a little more appropriate. (Regular plastic mats at this size should be cheaper at around $45)To start, the package came on time and was secure in a long, tube like packaged box and wrapped inside with a bag over it. Upon opening it, I can very well tell how nice the quality of the material is, thick, strong, had a nice smell of fresh wood and slight rubber, and overall looked beautiful. Yes, it works perfectly fine on thick carpet but it would be more ideal for a thin type of carpet. Just by how it's designed on the bottom, it seems like it's perfectly fine to use on hard wood too with the cloth and rubber circles on the bottom of the mat.My overall review is positive with fast shipping, quality material, beautiful colour, and universal use on carpet or hardwood floors. One of the cons I experienced was the package being a little water damaged and that there was a bump scratched into the mat before I even got to use it. I opened it and I saw the bump. I'm kind of upset with it but I was thinking about how that eventually my office chair will scratch it up anyway so I just decided to ignore it. I wouldn't mind a refund since it's a pretty big bump but even if not, I'll still keep it.Picture 1: The mat I saw at Staples but in a different colour and a price at about $79.99 at 44" x 52" (with lip).Pictures 2 & 3: The mat I got yesterday with the damage/indent. I'm not super happy about it but it's fine I suppose.

Yesterday a friend who was visiting asked where I got this mat, so I just looked it up to give her the specs and felt moved to write a review. I've had this chair mat in bamboo for almost four years now and love it! Previously to having this mat I just had my chair on the wood floor, which resulted in damage. I wanted something that would blend with the light wood flooring we had but which would also cover up the damage I'd thoughtlessly caused by not having a mat. I had thought about professionally refinishing the wood flooring in my office area, actually, but with this in place, it looked great again! I love it and it's withstood the test of time (or at least four years and running). It looks brand new and hasn't caused any other damage to the wood floor. Five stars!

Anji Mountain Bamboo Office Chairmat.I have only used this for a few weeks.However, I can see how this is going to last much longer than the plastic chair mats I have used in the past which lasted one year or less.What was unexpected was how much larger in size (55"x57") it was over the plastic chair mat (45"x53") it replaced.Be sure you have room for the floor mat around your desk in the office, cubicle or area in which it is to be used.The natural color looks good on the floor. It seems to match the oak colored furniture fairly well.Its weight and felt backing seems to hold it in place over carpeting fairly well.Do not know if you would use this on hard flooring.They recommend the use of chairs with soft polyurethane or soft rubber chair casters.I am using plastic casters - not sure how this will effect the life of the product.I don't care if the plastic casters scratch the surface.The mat is 5 millimeters thick - thicker than the plastic.The edges are rounded but if you roll off it will be a bit of a drop.They probably can't bevel down the thickness near the edges.However, with the larger size, I will never roll off the mat so the bevel thickness near the edges is unneccessary.The chair mat rolls up as it is formed of about 29 two inch slats.It came with a carrying case as well if you ever do need to move it.Overall, I think these are much superior to the plastic chairmats. However, you are going to pay more.I have not seen the new glass type chairmats to compare against.However, I think the glass chairmats are one piece so they should be even more expensive to purchase and to ship than these bamboo mats.

Looks terrific. Small computer chair wheels are hard to move from floor to rug.

exactly what we needed. Chair for computer was wearing the rug and this mat solved the problem. Wider slats are a plus. Solidly made.

Very nice!

Very happy with this purchase
