I could literally kick myself for not buying this sooner. I have wasted countless money on the plastic mats that either crack or the wheels create indentation where you sit most & then you get "stuck" there. My wheels glide right over this smoothly and it is plenty big. This glass feels like industrial strength & is quite heavy. It looks beautiful in my office and protects my new carpet. Do yourself a favor and buy this. I feel like this will be the last one I ever have to buy.

    I have gone through a dozen chair mats over the years, and this is the BEST CHAIR MAT EVER! Of course I started with the cheapest vinyl chair mats which only last a few months before starting to dent. Then I graduated to the "heavy duty, long hours sitting at a desk" chair mats, which were significantly more expensive, and lasted a bit longer than the cheaper ones. I sit at my desk about 8 hours a day, working on a computer. My office has a low profile carpet with padding underneath. I get up from my desk to go to the printer, the mailbox, the warehouse, etc., so I am up and down, rolling my chair back and forth from the desk - ALL DAY LONG. My last vinyl chair mat cost about $50, lasted more than a year, but then developed a big crack where the front chair wheel had more pressure from me leaning forward to see my computer monitor. I used duct tape to hold the crack together. Then kept adding more and more duct tape, extending the chair mat life a couple more months. I never knew that tempered glass chair mats even existed! This is my "find of the year"! A total game changer. I no longer sink into the carpet (which would curl up the edges of the vinyl chair mats - a stubbed toe hazard!), I don't get stuck in the cracks or dents or duct taped holes. My chair glides so effortlessly on this beautiful glass chair mat. My posture is better since my chair is not sinking into the mat or rug. I am sitting more ergonomically correct, with my eye level at the right position to the monitor. I absolutely love this chair mat and hope that it lasts a really long time. When I get up from my desk, my dog rushes to lay on the cool glass which chills her tummy. I placed the mat in many different positions, and found that for me, this rectangle-shaped mat works best in the "vertical position" vs the "horizontal position". Don't put the long edge of the mat parallel with the long edge of the desk, because when you roll away from your desk, you will probably roll right off the edge of the glass. Instead, place the mat vertically and tuck about 12" of the shorter side of the glass under the front of the desk, and the remaining glass goes under your chair and still has space to roll your chair back without falling off the glass. I think it is best to try to never roll off the edge of the glass to prevent any damage to the glass edge. The edge is nicely rounded and smooth, not at all a hazard if you have children, pets or bare feet. This item came very well packaged, with absolutely no damage to the carton or contents. It is a bit heavy and bulky, so beware and maybe enlist a helper! It comes with 4 stick-on pads in case you want to lift the chair mat off of the floor a bit. I am on carpet, so I am not using the pads. I highly recommend this glass chair mat.

    I bought this chair mat over three years ago. I wanted to give it time to see how well it held up, but then I forgot all about writing a review at all, so here I am three and a half years later!

    This chair mat is an excellent product. It's a nice, solid weight (not flimsy) and very clear. I definitely have put it through its paces. I sit here at my desk for hours every day, rolling from one side to another, and it has held up perfectly. I even roll a little off the side once in a while which makes an awful, scraping sound, but the mat hasn't chipped even a little bit. I haven't dropped an anvil on it, but I have dropped a big, metal stapler and it didn't chip or crack in the slightest.

    This mat is very comfortable to roll on. It's nice and smooth and the chair just glides across. What I hate most about plastic mats is that, eventually, an indentation will form and the casters give some resistance when you try to roll away from it. This chair mat being glass, it's solid and sturdy and creates a solidly even surface no matter what.

    To clean, I just spritz some Windex on it and wipe it clean, and it looks brand-new again.

    I wish I'd started buying glass chair mats years ago. If you need one, get this mat. You won't be sorry.

    I absolutely hate those bumpy vinyl chair matts that they provide at most workplaces. They are better than carpet, but just barely. This tempered glass chair mat is just the right width and length to fit under my desk with room to roll forward and back as far as needed without the chair rolling over the edge. The surface is super smooth, so gliding in any direction requires zero effort. Also, it looks absolutely beautiful and sophisticated.

    The mat itself came with clear tabs to affix to the corners so that the mat stays balanced and in place. I have my mat sitting on a rug, so the feet came in very handy to keep the corners secure and supported since the mat hovers a few centimeters above the ceramic tile floor. I spend hours a day rolling back and forth over this glass, and it has not shifted, it feels very sturdy, even when I step right on the edges.

    My only negative remark, and this is not specific to this particular glass floor mat, but to glass floor mats in general, is that it is a bit of work to keep it spotlessly clean. Mopping it DOES NOT WORK. You pretty much need to sweep it first and then hand wipe with glass cleaner to a streak-free finish, just like with any window or mirror. Also, if you have it sitting on carpet, stuff will collect around the edges that you cannot catch with a vacuum (even with the attachments), so occasionally it may be necessary to lift the glass in order to vacuum underneath and around the edges. This may be a real hassle if portions of your desk sit atop of the glass. Obviously, this is nothing against the product itself, but just something to keep in mind. I still really love this mat. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend!

    muy bueno para proteger tu piso en el área de trabajo, el tamaño es idóneo. El que sea de cristal templado permite que la silla se desplace muy bien y que la limpieza sea fácil. Funciona muy bien en un escritorio, pero en una mesa que tiene una pata central este diseño cuadrado no funciona del todo bien, seria recomendable que hubiese algún diseño con espacio central para este tipo de mesas

    Have a low to medium pile carpet, very problematic for my chair wheels to move through as it sinks in and create indentations that are hard to roll out of. Bought this over a polycarbonate one, because the price was pretty similar and I felt like glass is more solid and less prone to bending.

    Very well packaged, so good that I kept the packaging in case I need to move later down the line.
    The glass does a great job, looks professional and is easy to clean. I am concerned about dropping objects onto it by accident, but I guess it's an exercise in prudence.

    It does glide on the carpet (I'm not using the provided rubber feet pads as it looks cleaner without), but it's rather minimal (half an inch to an inch after a day or two) and doesn't bother me as much to shift back.
    I'd rather have it glide a bit than deal with the hard indentations the rubber feet pads will leave after a year.

    Can definitely recommend, it's a good investment and have no buyer's remorse thus far.

    Just absolutely perfect for medium pile padded carpet. My experience with various platic mats designed with spikes for medium pile carpet is that they never quite do it and inevitably end up developing annoying divots under the wheels. The worse part is that there's not even that big of a cost difference between those and this.

    It's effectively just a massive 40lbs+ thick pane of tempered glass, but it's the details that make it. The edges are pleasantly rounded for comfort all around, and perfectly clear and polished like the rest of the mat, giving it quite a luxurious look.

    One note is that you will definitely want to make sure your chair at minimum has hard-surface compatible wheels (most chairs by default come with simple hard plastic wheels which you want to avoid). For most people I'd recommend pickup up a replacement set of roller-skate type hard floor wheels. I've found these complement the smooth glass surface best, and just feel great to use.

    I know - you're sitting there reading these reviews about the glass chair mat & wondering how it could ever stand up to any sort of abuse. I was skeptical too. Like many others, I was done with the garbage plastic mats that all seem to break down over time. Not to mention they are never totally flat on top of a carpet. The solution? Yes - a glass chair mat!

    Many of you will be amazed & happy with this purchase. I'll be perfectly honest - I'm a fat old dude using this on top of a plush carpet. It's solid. While I don't recommend it, I have accidentally dropped large & heavy metal objects on the glass mat. It survived, and didn't chip. However, you have to be very careful & understand glass. Glass isn't perfect - all glass has micro-fractures. It's possible I've begun to compromise my glass chair mat, and one day it could shatter. I'm not going to blame this on the mat - it was my own carelessness for dropping stuff on it. So far, it has taken some abuse, as well as general wear & tear. I'm very pleased with it, and will purchase another if this one ever breaks. My only gripe - being smooth glass, it has a tendency to creep over time on top of the soft carpet. I have to pull it back every few weeks to the desired position. Lorell's solution comes at a fraction of the cost of other manufacturers & appears just as durable. At the time of my purchase many months ago, there was only one option for the size. It was perfect for my use, but know that Lorell does make several sizes of glass mats. Search for Lorell on the internet & have a peek at their website for more details. I have noticed the cost has increased since the time I purchased this mat (selling on Amazon now for $149 Canadian), but I would still buy it at the increased price. I feel it is that good & is money well-spent. One last point worth mentioning - once you put your favourite chair on the glass mat, you won't be accustomed to the lack of resistance. Take great care when moving about in your wheeled throne - it's far too easy at first to slam yourself into your desk. Full disclosure - my chair has the standard plastic wheels and they roll & function just fine. There's really no need to upgrade your wheels. I would imagine a chair with upgraded wheels would glide better & more smoothly - it's hard to imagine as the difference between riding on a glass mat versus a plastic mat is night & day. I'm very happy with the product. Had I known it existed, I would have tried one years ago.

    I use the Lorell Tempered Glass Chair Mat as a work - table top supported on a metal base. Because the tempered glass can bear weight, I thought this might work. And it does. It supports an oak table easel and my art materials etc. It's neat and strong –– good for working in a small space: good-looking, functional piece of glass.
