            @pd145: It's a legit point, in fact when you consider most of the clientele at Kmart, I'd almost pay $10 to not have to see them, and the risk of some retard door knocking my car.

      So many useless replies and not a single one stating that no, Kmart does not sell the YESDEX Office Chair Mat.

      What they do sell, is your run-of-the-mil, square-shaped chair mat like you get at IKEA that doesn't have the non-slip studded backing on the bottom and is much, much thinner than a proper chair mat.

      Having used those in the past, I would not recommend them simply due to how easily they slide/move around (they require constant repositioning) and the fact they're prone to warping/flexing along the outer edges due to being so thin so when you have your chair/weight concentrated in the centre of those mats the outer edges bend upwards. They also easily develop unsightly scuff/scratch marks from castor wheels or chair legs.

      • Frunk on 13/03/2023 - 13:31

        How does Yesdex compare to the ones at Officeworks? I think they are OW's J. Burrow brand. I have one and my chair leaves indents on it all the time (carpet beneath is quite soft tbf).

        • Gnostikos on 13/03/2023 - 14:14
          +1

          Well they're all more expensive for a start though OW's chair mats can come in larger sizes.

          Have a look at the reviews for them on OW's site and you'll see plenty of people complaining about them denting and cracking after barely any use.

          It's all the same Chinese garbage so paying more for it from OW doesn't make sense. I'm not saying these YESDEX ones are going to last forever but they're a damn sight better than those terrible Kmart/IKEA chair mats that don't even have a studded backing and for this price they're decent value.

        IKEA one is slightly bigger 100x120. Measured actual thickness 1.85mm. I had the KOLON for 10 years now. Heavy use no cracking, no curling, it gets a dose of UV exposure every morning, extremely durable material. It's not studded and it slides on the carpet very annoying because it's not studded it can be used to protect your lovely hardwood floorboards. I used thumbtacks to secure them to the carpet.

    bought a matt from costco couple years ago for i think $40 at the time, super thick and heavy duty.. still going strong.. Bought one for my wifes desk that like this one (may not be to be fair) and it constantly curls up under the desk.. Unfortunaly costco no longer sell the thick (i think 1200mm) one.

          You might using the one design for hard floor, those for carpet should have lots of pins to hold it on the carpet. You can use Velcro tape to hold it on the carpet.

        I've had them on my Sayl for the last 2 years, works well on wooden floor but not so much on carpet (creates bumps in the carpet). I've been using these for carpet instead and they work okay:

      The issue is that you should not be using wheels on fluffy "home" carpet. The wheels are for office carpet tiles.

      If you're using a chair on thick fluffy carpet, you should be using carpet gliders, e.g. https://www.amazon.com.au/Glides-Replacement-Stationary-Cast…

      The key difference is that they have a much larger surface area, so the pressure (i.e. weight per contact area) with the carpet is reduced and you do less damage to the carpet over time.

    If the floor is timber hard style then we need the opposite ie small carpet/rug?

    • Butterfly Gocha on 12/03/2023 - 19:04

      Nah you need both.

      Get some carpet squares then add this on top.

      Having just carpet or a rug is the reason why this type of Mat exists and just running a chair on a timber floor will eventually end with it rubbing and taking the polish/varnish off in those localised areas

    In the end just got a piece of 5mm thick wood from bunnings and just put that down, no more snapping.

    Just be cautious on these, most are designed for work places carpet that is much harder

    Does yours indent?

    I have one from Desky for $110 and it indents so much that the chair get sunken into a fixed position and have to push to get out of the hole that your chair makes.

    I posted review that never got posted on the website so they're filtering comments.

    I've also of the opinion that a MDF or plywood piece from Bunnings probably does a better job

    • lawyerz on 12/03/2023 - 23:18

      I'd like to add that desky has confirmed the indentation is normal

      • JPNx on 13/03/2023 - 12:44

        Yep first mine began to indent and then it eventually just cracked and began to just rip apart.
        I didn't buy this brand at all just for people to be clear but both i did buy were not cheap (luckily WFH Covid so work did pay for them)

        The wood whilst doesnt look the prettiest because its just particleboard has shown 0 signs of wear at all, No wheel marks or indent id say the only thing that would kill it would be a drink spillage

    Be aware if you have carpet these can ruin it. I don't know if mine was meant for hard floors or carpet, but it had sharp points (so it seems logical it was the carpet version). Those points puncture the jute backing carpet fibres are woven/glued into. When you eventually move the mat you'll have a grid of permanent puncture marks in the carpet. I had the carpet steam cleaned thinking the fibres would "plump up" a bit and make it less obvious but nope. Walking on it for several years since then has only made a slight improvement. Something to keep in mind, especially if you rent in case landlord demands new carpet. I would take an angle grinder or razor blade and cut most of them down or completely off, leaving only some at the rear for grip, where you don't put weight on them.

  • Ulysses31 on 13/03/2023 - 00:10

    The ones I've tried are MEH. Wheels sink in, get stuck and create semi-perm dips… making me wonder what the point is, again.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/03/2023 - 00:29

      Yeah mine was an expensive thick one someone gave away.

      I came back to edit but couldn't… When I said leave the rear row of points I was thinking of the one I had. Because it was so large it went all the way under the desk nearly to the wall skirting board. That is the rear edge I meant people could leave intact - not the edge behind you when sitting on the chair which would damage the carpet from your weight when pushing the chair back. A couple of rows at what I guess you'd call the front edge, especially if nearly against the skirting board, would be much less noticeable.
