GIOVARA Office Chair Mat for Hard Floor

All the information about this product says protects your carpet which is very misleading- it is not suitable for carpets.. only hard floors. On carpets it buckles and the chair wheels and the buckling of the mat leave marks. The product itself is ok and im sure if i was reviewing it for the purpose it is actually intended for i would be giving it 4 stars but sadly not what I wanted or needed as I needed something suitable for under a chair on carpet. 1 star only due to the misleading information on the product information and overview as i now have to order a different one and have to consider whether I can be bothered with the return process to get my money back for this one.

Used this to protect wooden floor from the wheels of my office chair. The original packaging was more than adequate, so I question the need for a bigger box paper filling. It unrolled very easily and its corners are currently being flattened by my dumbbells. The vendor very kindly emailed with advice on how to ensure that it lies flat. So far, I'm very happy with it. (Not sure on durability because I've only just opened it. But it appears to be of good quality.)

At first, it looks and sits OK. But 3 days into using the chair I started to feel the discomfort. The back is non-adjustable, which for me is a bit too up-right. The seat itself also feels a bit declined to the front. Along with the up-right back it feels like I am about to slip off the chair. Then, you have the squeezing noises that you would expect from a year-old chair.I suppose you pay for what you get, but if I knew the above before I bought it I would rather spend the extra money and get a more comfortable chair, especially that I spend 8+ hours a day seated on it.

I'm happy with this product. This is on the more affordable budget end of chair mats, but this is great product. Definitely follow the instructions of how to roll out the chair mat. I had to use a set of dumbbell dics, to weigh down all corners and sides of the mat, once I had rolled it out. I left the mat weighed down, by a radiator, as the heat helps with flattering out the mat, for 30 hours before use. The mat stayed flat.

The media could not be loaded.  Very disappointed my purposes for carpet unfortunately was very difficult to moving chair while working. The product very soft like a rubber not good for any floor if use for the chair. I reckon .

My office chair scratched it a bit too much. Don't know why. Can only be used on wooden floor, not carpet. It has found its way into the bathroom (which is carpeted) to stop water spilling onto the carpet.

Looks tidy enough, mine went quite flat without much effort after a few days. Is reasonably unnoticeable on a wooden floor and good for protecting floor from the chair I sit on for work every day!

Exactly as advertised. Seems sturdy and likely to last, does what it says it does, no funny smells either. Also appreciated the minimised amount of packaging used. Both thumbs up for the product and the seller!
