Marvelux Office Chair Mat for Hardwood Floors 30" x 48" Clear PVC Hard Floor Protector Mat for Under Desks, Rectangular Vinyl Floor Mat for Computer Desks and Gaming Chairs, Shipped Flat

I reviewed this one time but it never showed up on Amazon. This is a very good product. I'm using it on a hard vinyl composition tile floor. It is plenty big enough for a rolling office chair, lays perfectly flat and is hardly noticeable. The people who complained about not being able to get it to lay flat obviously can't or won't follow directions and as far as it being hard to roll out, I'm 75 years old with physical limitations and had no problem on my own. It's just what I was looking for. Thanks!Hugh

Other than the box being beat up on one end the mat was undamaged. Easy to unroll, weighed the corners down as instructed and after a day it's fine. Chair rolls easily and it certainly protects my floor which was showing signs of damage from the chair wheels. Definitely worth the money and worth owning.

When this package first arrived, I feared the worst. It came shipped rolled up and I worried about ripples on it and trouble getting it to flatten out. Luckily, my fears were (mostly) unfounded. The mat flattened pretty nicely when I placed heavy books all over it. In fact, it was usable within two hours of doing so. It did come with a pretty intense smell when first removed from box, but again that has all but gone away and do not even notice.Fast forward and I am pretty pleased with this mat. I use it on a hardwood floor and it is near invisible. My chair rolls smoothly over it with no resistance. So what warrants 4 instead of 5 stars? Unfortunately, it never has completely smoothed out without slight ripples due to it being rolled. Again, on my wood floor, you cannot even see them unless you look close, but I am sure on other surfaces like carpet, this would stand out greater.Despite the fact that I gave it 4 stars out of 5, I would definitely recommend this mat. I am happy with my purchase and would buy again.

Had it for 2 months now. It came packaged flat (my favorite part about this product), it's sturdy, wooden chairs slide easily on it, and I've experienced NO lifting of the edges! It's big enough that I can scoot my chair around it and the legs never run off the edge. I would absolutely buy this again if I needed to.Update: its been about 6 months, its still flat and I'm ordering 2 more

This item is stiff. I can't get it to lay flat. I recieved a replacement promptly, to find it to be the same. I will return the new one rather than start over weighting the edges down.

The mat shipped flat so there were no issues in laying it down. The edges are not tapered as some answers claim but it is thin enough to not cause any problems. I weighed it down by a desk so it does not slide. It may be fine by itself too but with a desk on top of the mat there are no issues at all. Good product.

I purchased 30x48 floor mat had it for 4 months. I find that for a chair with rolling casters, 30" is too narrow. I recommend 36" width (not this brand!)It did ship flat. I do not know why it's so important though. I had another mat shipped rolled up and was able to use it right away (Matladin upgraded heavy duty). I just unrolled and laid it with the edges curled down and put the chair on. On the next day it became completely flat.Marvelux mat is thin (probably twice thinner than Matladin ), slippery, moves a lot and, as a result, damaged my floor. I also have to be careful how to step on it or it would slide. It's scary how easily it slides.Matladin mat hasn't moved a bit since it replaced Marvelux in my office, like it's glued to the floor. Matladin doesn't take nearly as much effort for me to move around and roll the chair as Marvelux. Same chair. I am guessing that's another reason the floor under the mat was damaged when I had Marvelux.One of the reviews suggests to use it as craft mat. It's probably the best use for Marvelux. I do not see it as a floor protector: it damages the floor and can cause an injury.To sum it up:Pros:- can be used as a craft mat- provides some sort of exercise due to the effort it takes to move around in a rolling chairCons:- doesn't stay in place (I tried both sides with the same result)- can cause an injury; it moves next second you step on it and it moves fast!- hard to move around and roll the chair, that extra pressure - more wear and tear on the chair and the floor.I do not recommend it.

This item is NOT 60 x 48. I had to have another one sent out and it too was NOT 60 x 48. It is 58 x 48 (which my desk does not fit on). So, now I have to return it.
