Marvelux 90 x 120cm (36" x 47") Heavy Duty Premium Polycarbonate Rectangular Office Chair Mat for Low, Standard and Medium Pile Carpets, Transparent Carpet Protector

Great buy. Have a new short pile dark grey/blk carpet in my Study and you can hardly see it's there. Comes flat packed ( no rolling it out) which is a great bonus. Does not move at all on carpet and it seems thick enough to last for some time. Yes it is more expensive than others but does seem a better product and fit for purpose. Time will tell.

I only write reviews where I think there is something important to say and to provide the sort of information and advice that I would wish to see as a prospective buyer. This product does exactly what I wanted, which was the protection of a carpet that was being damaged by an office chair on castors. I am reviewing here the Heavy Duty Premium Polycarbonate version suitable for low, standard and medium pile carpets. Do not be misled by the reviews talking about dents or cracking, which I can only assume relate to a lower spec or faulty product.My previous protection lasted for a few years before starting to crack and break up but within days had shown denting from the castors. It was thicker than the product I am reviewing here but had channels in it that seemed to allow the formation of dents.I have been using this product for over a week, sitting in the chair for long periods and there are no signs at all of any denting, thus allowing the chair to move freely. The protector has small spikes underneath that keep it absolutely securely in place with no signs of any movement. So far, it appears to be an absolutely first class product. My advice would be to buy with confidence!

Recent purchase, so early days yet. Product arrived via Hermes (some delay in delivery but this was sorted and delivered a day late).Product arrived in flat cardboard packaging and was easy to remove and lay down (no curled up edges!). I have a medium to thick carpet and so far it is working well with my desk chair. When walking across it, the edges pop up but that is due to thickness of carpet, not the product.Spiked bottom provides some grip but there is some movement.UPDATE July 2022 - Matt is still in use. No cracks, tears, warping or denting. Actually surprised by this as most matts I have had in the past have started to show signs of wear and tear long before now. I am 6ft 1” and about 265lbs and there is not a mark on this Matt. It has had regular use, with working from home. Would buy this again.

Very pleased with this product, looks good on my carpet and it doesn't move when I move about on my chair.

Excellent product. I chose this because it was made in the UK and there was no necessity to unroll it and weight it down till it became flat. It arrived flat packed and went straight to work saving my new carpet! Very pleased and would definitely recommend it.

Purchased in May 2022, 32 months ago, used on medium/deep pile carpet. In need of replacement but I'm happy with that and plan to purchase again. I am 70kg and have worked from home 95% of the time.It has protected the carpet and my chair has moved freely on top. Size is good.It has started to crack meaning it's not spreading the weight as it should.

Unfortunately, after being down in the office for around 4 months, the mat is cracked in several places. The office is used for about 2/3 hours in the evening for gaming (3-4 days per week approx) so not heavy use, so I'm quite disappointed in its durability.It's become a bit of a hazard with lots of sharp edges and has cut my son's feet, so has had to be disposed of.

The mat was delivered well packed in a cardboard sleeve, and most importantly, had been kept flat by the courier, so it arrived in perfect condition, with no cracks, creases, folds, bends, or other damage. I have been using my Herman Miller Aeron chair, which has good castors, on a carpet tiled floor, but these did, surprisingly, restrict the free rolling of the chair. Now, with the mat in place, I can slide in and out from the desk with minimal effort!The mat is transparent, and has a slightly textured upper surface, while the underside is studded with small conical teeth, to grip the carpet.In use, the mat doesn't move or slide on the carpet tiles, and the slightly textured surface means that my shoes do not slip on the mat, whilst the chair's castors roll over easily, with no hinderance at all. The mat doesn't seem to generate static, or attract dust, and is easy to clean when hoovering the carpet. It also provides total protection to the carpet underneath, preventing localised wear from feet and chair castors. Although the mat has a minimal thickness, it is not sufficient to catch the soles of my shoes or slippers, (so it doesn't present a trip hazard), and still allows the chair to roll off the mat easily, if needed. It has been in use constantly for a few weeks, now, and shows no signs of wear or damage at all (polycarbonate is extremely tough, and is used in many industrial applications, such as machine guards, and is both durable and strong). This is not a cheap purchase, but is worth every penny - I wouldn't want to be without mine, now!
