Recommendations on a good chairmat

I don't think so. As I recall I had to check the Yellow Pages for plastics manufacturers. There happened to be one about 15 miles from me. I emailed them for info and prices.

A cheapskate's chairmat: Glue together enough left-over hardwood floor planks and glue the underside with anti-skid cover and it'll be good to go. Caution: it might not match with your home office deco

Peter,

One issue I have with chairmats is they don't protect would floors at all. Yes, you won't see scratches where the chair is rollowing around. Instead, I've seen scratches and other damage around the edges of the chairmat itself. Get schmutz beneath the mat and that will create scratches, too.

At this point, I am looking into non-marking soft wheel casters. They are safer for hard wood floors. Hard wheel casters are better for carpeted floors. since I have hard wood floors, non-marking soft wheel casters are the way for me. I just need to decide exactly what kind to get and where to get them.

Miracle Casters won't cut it. The site says they're intended for use on carpets and can damage floors. It also says nothing at all about what they'll do to wood floors. This means they are likely hard wheel casters.

I think it was under $20.00 local store. They store them flat so there wasn't any curl issue.

I use it on hardwood floor. It seam to have held up well for a year plus now.

Kurtzie,

Have you lifted the chair mat to see how the floor beneath it has held up over time?
