How big is your "roll area?" Do you sit still or move from your desk to your file cabinet? It's important to choose a chair mat the right size for your work area. Determine the farthest points of your workspace and choose a mat that covers that area. Do not buy a chair mat so large that you have to put it under office furniture. Chair mats are not designed to support more than you and your office chair. Placing furniture on your chair mat causes cracks and voids your warranty. Can't find a chair mat that fills your workspace without lapping under furniture? Choose a smaller chair mat with beveled edges so you can roll on and off smoothly |

Final Chair Mat Considerations |

Unrolling your chair mat: the curls at the edges will flatten naturally in about a day. You can speed up the process by placing books or other weights along the edges. Chair casters: only use plastic chair casters on your chair mat. If your office chair has metal wheels, consult our chair caster guide for tips on measuring and replacing your casters. |
