    i think i saw a carpet protector mat for $29.97 at Costco Adelaide (membership required and no delivery). YMMV

    • djones145 on 17/09/2015 - 09:24

      bunnings is around the same
      and office works has it for 35 too, and yeah no delivery!

      not sure of the quality too
      have seen ones which are very thin!

      • zorrt on 17/09/2015 - 09:37

        Costco one is very thick. Can't recall the price though.

      • 0xFFFF on 17/09/2015 - 09:50

        I purchased one from Bunnings years ago. It's still good today.
        I'm sure I paid less than $35 for it though.

        • kampua on 17/09/2015 - 22:02

          Cheapest in Bunnings is $59.90 now, PVC not polycarbonate. Polycarbonate lasts longer.

        • 0xFFFF on 18/09/2015 - 09:19

          @kampua: Must have been on sale at the time I purchased it. I'm assuming that the mat I got is PVC as it looks identical to the (expensive) $59.90 one.

    • hluu0111 on 17/09/2015 - 11:12

      We got a few from Costco Dockland for our office. The quality and thickness are of those at the top prices at OW. The price is under $30.

    • browser on 17/09/2015 - 21:05

      Yeah, the Costco ones are really thick and looks heavy duty, also they are made in USA. But only available for low pile carpets, not hard floors.

      Edit: okay this one is also for carpet.

  • coprocessor8087 on 17/09/2015 - 09:28

    Cheaper to just put a cardboard under your chair. You can call it "Carpet Protection Cardboard"

  • bargaino on 17/09/2015 - 09:33
    +1

    Cheaper at Ikea and online.
    Cardboard will not work - does not spread the load. Desk chairs damage carpet and underlay.

    • Russ on 17/09/2015 - 09:55

      I have one of the Ikea ones, they don't survive on carpet. Mine has developed a spiderwork of cracks where the chair casters were. I stopped using it when all of the cracks started to join up. This was within a year of purchase.

      I also have a much older one, can't remember where I bought it but it wasn't Ikea. That one is still going fine, zero cracks, it's so old that the clear plastic has started going yellowish-brown.

      The difference between the two? The Ikea one is about 2-3mm thick, I estimate the older one to be about 6mm thick, hard to judge because it has tapered edges. The may be different plastics too, I don't know how to tell that. The Ikea one had a strong smell when unwrapped, I remember I had to keep it under the house for a week before using it.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding Ozbargain! This mat is Polycarbonate not PVC… YES you will get a cheaper PVC mat however this mat is odourless therefore wont stink out your place!

    Here is a link that explains the difference.

        Haha you dont have to be 0xFFFF if they use plasticisers to reduce the price of the mat you will be able to smell from a mile away!!

          That is a truly valid point.
          With plastics and paint cheap junk plasticisers are more than just a nuisance they can be downright toxic. Not stinking, hopefully implies less outgassing.

      • random451 on 17/09/2015 - 14:30

        Don't underestimate the stink they can put out. I bought one from Bunnings a couple of weeks ago. My computer is in my lounge room so that's where the mat went before I even put the chair on it I noticed the stink was unbearable. I scrubbed it with cleaner, didn't help. I left it outside for a week, but when I brought it back in, still stunk. It was literally unbearable to sit in the same room with it. I googled if other people had had the same problem, and found a lot who did, saying it still stunk after months!

        Had no choice but to take it back.

      • 0xFFFF on 24/09/2015 - 14:58

        Thanks matshop. My mat just arrived. I'll get Mrs 0xFFFF to give it a sniff when I get home tonight.

  • impoze on 17/09/2015 - 09:51

    I was just after one of these after buying the Buro metro chair from the Staples deal

    I checked out the similar priced ones from officeworks/ikea but they don't seem that great, have a smell and reviews of the Ikea version all seem to say it's not worth the price and will crack soon after using

  • glennh70 on 17/09/2015 - 09:57

    If you look up "Polycarbonate Chair Mat" on Ebay, the cheapest is $170 at Officeworks

  • EarlyBird on 17/09/2015 - 10:00

    The prices of these protectors vary according to specifications. Can't compare on price alone. This is a bargain based on that.

    • EarlyBird on 25/09/2015 - 15:55

      Received my order yesterday. I can confirm that it's a good quality protector equivalent to the ones sold at OW for about $60-$70. Hence, a good bargain at $35 delivered.

  • glennh70 on 17/09/2015 - 10:03

    The matshop mat is thicker and a little bit larger then the Officeworks version, it sounds like it may be better

    I bought the bunnings one a while back and remember that the whole house stunk like plastic for weeks. Once the smell is gone its fine and after a couple of years of use its still going strong with no cracks.

    With this deal, its a small premium to pay not to have the plastic smell.

    BPA Free ?

    • Russ on 17/09/2015 - 12:49
      +1

      BPA is an endocrine disruptor, and as such is only harmful if it gets into your bloodstream. Unless you are planning to eat off it, drink through it, chew it, lick it or inject it, it's unlikely to have any effect on you.

      Possibly if you have toddlers BPA could be a concern. They chew anything.

      I have the Ikea Kolon but it gets annoying to having to realign the mat everyday day or two since it doesnt have grips underside to hold it in place hence I decided to buy the product above since its a good price and to save me the effort.

      PS: Kolon does stink and doesn't go away after a month or two of use, so keep your room ventilated to remove the chemical smell.

    I recently wanted to buy these protection mats to protect my tiles as my Gregory office chair is sagging and scraping, but remembered that I had heaps of square carpet pieces in my garage, so now I've got 4 pieces under my chair, does the job.

    I also wanted to buy a laptop cooler as it kept shutting itself down from overheating, after googling and youtubing, I found an alternative solution, using air compressor to push the dirt out, now it's dropped from 78C average to 45C average. I am a true ozbargainer.

      I see you've got a heavy duty pvc one for $69, and in the overview it says 'toxic plasticisers are not used' resulting in a not so strong odour. Are you able to make a comment on that vs the product you have linked?
