I need a mat for my husband's study. We have manufactured hardwood floors, rolling chair hard on it. If seated in his desk chair, could he roll/move?

Sure that will work fine. You may have to move it out of the way when you are sitting due to your chair's wheels or legs. My boss has this set-up, standing desk with mat over carpet, and she just pushes the mat forward a bit when she wants to use her chair. Enjoy!

This chair is very well made and moves easily on carpet so I don't think it would drag on hardwood. But anything is possible with continued use.

Yes it is easy to roll on hardwood floors. Have not tried rolling it on carpet. It does have a handle and it's high enough that you are not bending when you roll it.

Yes! We have hardwood floors and it is very easy to move around. You just lift from the back legs and it rolls on the front wheels easily. It is pretty light weight but very sturdy and well made - we love this high chair!

I have "industrial carpet" in my office. This is low-nap carpet with virtually no padding. The stool rolls easily on this carpet. If your indoor/outdoor carpet has little or no padding, it should roll fine. The casters are pretty good.

Hi James. I would stay away from this product. Reason being the smallnibs on the bottom that is supposed to keep the mat from moving doesn't work. I have carpet where my PC is and as I pull my chair in and out the vinyl moves a little with it. After a few days I have to push the mat back in place.

You might want to consider getting at least a throw rug to put directly on your hardwood floor and then put the mat on the rug. That way no moisture would get under the mat to damage your floor. The mat also help to lessen the sound of my treadmill, and I'm really glad I have it. If you had to move your treadmill, having the rug under the mat would make it very easy to slide it on your floor. Hope this helps.

I do think it would work. We do have carpet in that room, but I don't see any indentations in the mat and he's a big guy that rides it everyday.

Hello, Rachel: I don't think I'd recommend this product to be used for protection under an office chair. I see 2 problems arising here. First of all, if you're only using 4 feet of mat (or so), you'll probably at some point roll off of the mat. It has a half inch lip, so it won't be easy to roll back onto the mat. Secondly, the legs/rollers of an office chair will leave divets or permanent indentations in the mat. I have a wood floor in my home office and I use a clear plastic chair mat, which works perfectly. You can get those in any Staples or office supply store for a very reasonable price. Good luck.

If you had someone hold it down for you possibly. It's light weight and doesn't sit flat from creases so likely you would just end up sweeping the entire mat across the floor, not just what's on it.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

I honestly cannot say for sure since I use my mat in my office setting and it is on top of carpet. I have used other mats on my kitchen floor; however, where the floor was washed and it did not seem to affect the mat in any way. I really don't think it will affect this mat either since it is a sturdy rubber back. Hope this helps.

I use my ball chair daily, and have no problems rolling between desks. I have two desks set in an L pattern and move freely between them. I love my chair.

I suppose you could not put the rollers on, but it would make it difficult to get out if the chair when you're pulled up close to a desk or table. If you are concerned about damage to your wood floor, I would get a chair mat. This will protect the wood, and you will still be able to use this chair.

Honestly... If I want to sit I just roll my chair into the mat. I don't know if that's going to mess with the longevity of the mat, but so far it hasn't caused any problems.

Yes; this unit is on castors and should not be a problem for anyone to move around. However, extra care should be taken when rolling on thick carpeting or over the threshold of a doorway.
