Despite buying a thicker version my chair wheels still rested in divots in the mat.
Diy chair floor mat.
Plastic chair mats are only partially effective because the wheels sink into the plastic leaving little indentations to roll back into and the plastic mats are unsightly in the home environment.
Also my work table is about 6 feet long.
This project presents a simple low cost way of making a floor mat that is not only easy for office chairs to roll on but is also attractive and can.
I needed a fairly large one at least 4 x 4 and i was shocked at the prices of even the cheap plastic mats.
But nonetheless sitting in divots defeats one of the main benefits of the mat in the first place the ability to roll and move the chair freely.
In the chair mat s defense i am on the huggable side at 240 ish.
Cut scraps of thick leather suede or faux leather as simple durable protective pads for the bottom of each chair leg.
