Marvelux Heavy Duty Polycarbonate Office Chair Mat for Hardwood Floors 47" x 53" | Transparent Hard Floor Protector with Lip | Multiple Sizes

I can't review how well it'll work for other surfaces, but it's good for HARDWOOD FLOORS.Before I comment, it's worthwhile talking about chair mat requirements.What you REALLY WANT from a chair mat IF you have HW FLOORS:- Smooth mat underside for more floor grip- Some weight to the mat so it doesn't slide around- Lie flat so it doesn't slide around- Material that is chemically inert- A textured top surface that provides tactile feedback (so you know you're still on the mat) and doesn't scratchHow this mat stacks up:- Smooth underside for better grip (CHECK, *I dragged a 4-leg chair w/o wheels on the mat and it DOESN'T move)- Weight (CHECK)- Lie flat (CHECK, shipped flat, not even sure it can be rolled since it's almost hard plastic)- CHEMICALLY INERT (CHECK, polycarbonate, 15 mins and a waste of perfectly good coffee later I've proven stains/spills won't seep from the mat unlike most lousy shoe mats I've bought)- Textured top surface (CHECK, polycarbonate doesn't scratch easily, and texture surface prevents scratches from showing)What you DON'T/SHOULDN'T CARE ABOUT:- Clear finish (this is pointless, you only need to vaguely see the HW floor underneath from afar, and causes a mat to be easily scratched which was a major complaint for other similar products)UPDATE: A new reviewer mentioned their MAT SIZE WASN'T ACCURATE. I just measured mine and it's 35 x 47, an inch shorter than advertised (36 x 48). I won't deduct the rating for now since I don't roll around on the mat (somewhat tight L-shaped desk).But buyers beware.

I thought this was going to be delivered in an over-sized flat box, eliminating my main concern that if shipped rolled up in a smaller box--the mat would not immediately lie flat on the floor. Well, the mat was delivered rolled up in a smaller box, but it immediately laid flat and that worry was eliminated. The mat is thin, but so far very sturdy. Being thin, it actually makes it easier if you roll your office chair off the mat, to roll it back on without feeling like you're hitting a curb. So far, 110% satisfied and the thinner construction has turned out to be a big positive. I gave it 4 stars for sturdiness as it's only been 3 weeks since purchase and I want to see how it holds up longer term. Highly recommended at this point in time and I put this mat through a lot of 10-12 hour, high use days in my home office.

This works OK. It slides around a bit on the floor. Seems to hold up well and protects the floor if you cna keep the chair on it. It is pretty small. I am looking for a bigger one.

This mat is great! Because of the size of my desk my brother had to cut the mat to fit. It fits great. I have another table that is in another part of the office, and I can just stay in my desk chair and roll to it and roll back with no problem. I don't even know I have rolled over the mat when I get back to my desk! Now, my brother did tape it down in 4 areas, but we are not sure it was needed. He did it since he had cut it and was not sure if he had done anything to the mat. It does not slide around. I was so surprised that I can walk from the wood floor onto the mat and not even trip or notice that I am now on the mat! I love this mat; I have never had any mats like this before!

The mat came as promised and very quickly. It was rolled up as they said but I opened it up and it immediately laid flat with no creases or curling. It is a larger mat so it came rolled up as they said it would and I had no problem with it at all. I was expecting to have to put it in the sun as I read reviews that said it was hard to lay flat. I never had that problem and we have 8 inch wood floors. Although it didn't appear that it would slid at all on our floors which are coated the 25" lip fit perfectly so that I could slid just a fraction of it under the actual desk to insure it wouldn't move. Love the mat and it is protecting the floors now.

I was excited about this chair mat, as I've been using one at work that was intended for carpet. The nubs on the underneath had led to damage on the floor and cracking on the existing mat, so I was anxious to use this. However, the first time that I put it down on the floor when my chair wasn't on it, it spilled me on the floor like I was slipping on ice. Now we're not comfortable using it, as my chair might roll off of it, leading to a broken bone or worse. I'm not quite sure how this is intended to stay put on a hard/hardwood floor, but it is slicker than sn0t, and now I'm tasked with finding something to anchor this mat in order to use it. Make sure that you're aware of it before wiping out yourself.

I searched for these on Amazon as we have had all our downstairs refloored with new vinyl plank flooring. I was concerned that my desk chair rollers would mar the floor. I found 2 of these together and purchased the 2 pack as I will also need one for the chair on rollers in my sewing studio-so it was more economical for me. I also liked that these were shipped flat instead of rolled up. I had read reviews that complained about how long they took to flatten up after being removed from the tubular package. This was perfect for me, is a little opaque but you can see the details of the flooring underneath, and they were functional right out of the box-no odor that some had described from those who purchased other chair mats. I'm very happy with this purchase!

Lay flat as soon as taken out of the box, unlike the PVC mat I'm returning. Worth the extra $ to buy the polycarbonate.
