As the title above says: I need a chair mat. Preferably something that doesn’t look gross. My chair is chewing up and chipping out vinyl floor. The best solution is to replace the floor entirely with something… less stupid, but budgets being what they are, I’m getting a chair mat for now.
I don’t want anything with spikes on the bottom. It has to be good for hard floors.
Otherwise, hook me up with any recommendations you might have! This is not an easy product category to shop for.
You have probably seen this and you’re not in the US if I remember correctly, but I certainly didn’t know there was a company totally devoted to floor mats.
I’ve had this chair in several living spaces and many floor types and the wheels have never so much as scratched a floor before. It’s just crappy vinyl, and it peels and cracks virtually on its own, so nothing will save it from wheels unfortunately. We’ve already had to replace pieces of this floor a handful of times in multiple living spaces downstairs, so… yeah.
Thanks to the recommendations here, I just changed my wheels for roller-blade-style wheels. They are great so far — I don’t know why Herman Miller doesn’t sell this as an option! I purchased mine from Office Logix because I could also get replacement arm rests, but lots of places have them.
