will this pad help stop my chair from rolling backwards when i lean back? it's a hardwood floor and not perfectly level. hence the easy rolling.

It may slow it down enough. The mat is a little soft, so it might work for you. Good luck!

My chair doesn't roll when I lean back. The mat is not smooth. It has a stippled finish. However, I'm on a very flat ceramic tile surface.

I don't know about this chair as the seller sent a wrong one that I returned. In general, never use hard plastic rollers on real hardwood floor. There will always be dirt caught by the rollers that transforms the rollers into effective "sandpaper" rolls, slowly and steadily destroying varnish and wood. Always have your chair on a mat.

It depends on the height of your desk. If its a low desk, then you might have some trouble since the chairs lowest setting is still a little high. For example, I have a keyboard tray that is attached to under my desk so with that, I cant cross my legs while Im rolled under the desk.

It depends on the twill of the carpet, it works well on the pay Matt, but my plush carpet keeps it from rolling

I have this mat under my stationary bike. The mat is on hardwood flooring. There is not any problem when I pull the mat to re-position the bike even though the mat itself has indentations from the weight of the bike. I am glad I purchased this mat.

Also, it does need to be broken in (assuming it's not a defect) and mine did the same thing as well when I got it. The more you use it the more that material will relax! Roll away!!!

Yes, this will make it better, but I wouldn't recommend keeping it on the sofabed when it is in sofa mode. These pads take a while to flatten after being curled.

Good question, it can lock in an upright position so there is no tilting back but there is not the option of moving it past the upright position and tiling it any more forward. Hope that helps! It is a very comfortable and durable chair.

It works great with the area rugs, it even does well with our bath mats which have no backing, though it sometimes flips a corner up, but it's not a big deal. I upgraded mine to a brush roller which is less noisy on the wood flooring. You might also look at the XV-21 which comes with both.

It's a little stiff at first. Then it gets easier as you do it a few times. I recommend the anti slip pad for under neath so it doesn't slide.

If it was my hardwood floor I would get a chair mat to protect it. I don't trust any type wheels on my floor. And the wheels are hard plastic.

Yes, it will go forwards & backwards. It has rubber legs that do help stabilize it, but will slip on wooden floors. Might want to use a rubberized mat to secure it on table. I've had no problem using it on a rug. Bought it to help therapy after total knee replacement, and have been very pleased with it.

Yes, it helps to keep the mat in place, I've had mine for awhile now and am very happy and satisfied with it.

I simply go on the floor with it under my lower back and using my feet (knees bent)just gently roll onto it using my legs and abdominals to control speed. Once I get up to my shoulders, I go the other way back down to my lower back. Think of it as a reverse rolling pin. You can control how hard or gentle you roll by how much you "lean" onto it. If it hurts, back off. I wouldn't use it on a hardwood floor as it would probably slide. If you really are in doubt and are being cautious, see a doctor who may say that this is the worst for you, I don't want to give the advice and have you hurt yourself more.

I'm not sure: It may be a little small for that. Also, because of the lip or rim on the underside, it may flex in the middle from rolling pin pressure, but I'm just guessing. (I use a larger board of consistent thickness for rolling.)

Not really. It's more of a forward and backwards movement, not for circular movement. It's a little tough but it might be due to my wooden floors.

It definitely tilts a little bit, but the pads are very soft so I am able to make it pretty flat if I needed to.
