AiBOB Office Chair Mat for Hardwood Floor, 45 X 53 inches, Hard Floor Chair Mats Under Computer Desk, Easy Glide for Rolling Chairs, No Curling

We have been using this chair mat for a few months. Our office chair sits well on it. It did smell lightly when we spread it over our wooden floor. However that scent dissipated in a few days. We like it a lot. It covers the area specifically where we needed it. The chair glides on it without difficulty.

I'm pleased with this office chair mat. I just put it down and it looks good and functions as represented.The price was also very reasonable.I ordered the clear mat for a hardwood floor and kept it at room temperature for 3 days before unrolling it.Then flipped it over and laid it flat and placed books and objects on the corners to hold it flat for a couple hours. Then put it in place under the desk, and it works fine.There is an odor from the plastic which takes a few days to go away. This doesn't bother me, but some of the reviews have mentioned it. I would recommend following the instructions and not unfolding the mat until you keep it at room temperature for at least 2 days.

If I had one complaint with regards to this floor mat it would be that it differs in size compared to its replacement. Yes it is a advertised being 48 inches in length and 36 inches wide, but the cutout for the extension was different that my older floor mat. And since I happen to have a piece of ¼” wood underneath the floor mat due to it being on a carpeted surface, the difference is noticeable.For anyone purchasing new and just putting it under an office chair that happens to be on a hardwood floor or laminate surface, the size would be of no consequence in a new application.

The mat does NOT smell as some say or at least mine did not smell. The mat was easy to unroll. Laid flat as soon as I laid it out and room where I did so was 62 degrees. The mat is very thin but appears to be durable. It is also smaller than the previous mats I had but then I purchased my previous mats at Office Max and paid 3Xs the price of this mat.For the money, this is perfect. When it wears out, one can easily purchase another.It does slide on my laminate flooring but I just pushed it under my desk and it stays in place.Very satisfied.

The mats do flatten quickly.I did not rate durability as they are new.If you are sensitive to plastic odors these mught not be for you. I am not odor sensitive, but found the odor is very strong. I have to think it is probably not good for us to be breathing these fumes. Will take them outside tomorrow to cure in the sun.
