Do I need a chair mat for an office chair?

Chair mat specification at OfficeFurniture2go.com is determined by floor type. For carpet: tempered polycarbonate or vinyl chair mats with cleated underside; select standard thickness for low-pile (under 1/2") or heavy-duty for mid/high pile carpet. For hard floors: use soft polyurethane casters instead of a mat for maximum floor protection and smooth rolling. Our commercial chairs include caster options for both floor types. A quality polycarbonate mat ($50–$150) pays for itself by extending carpet life and improving chair mobility. Call 1-800-460-0858.
