Need new floor mat - tired of plastic ones

Can anyone suggest a good site to get a floor mat that is not the cheap, plastic ones sold at Office Max or Staples?

thanks

OR stop by your local "glass shop"

 

I was thinking glass mat is the way to go. Do you recommend that particular site?

 

Let's see...

$180 glass mat... or

$22 plastic mat from Costco... with lifetime warranty... to be replaced free every 2 years when it cracks...

Hmmmmm??

 

the first question should be-what type of floor do you have?

i have hardwood and those clear ones from office depot are look fine to me after at least 4 years of heavy usage. no cracks or any other damage.

delivery was fun. it was free an i order 3 mats. they arrived ....on 18 wheeler! in small residential neighborhood.

 

Carpeted floor.

Plastic mats eventually crack so looking for something better.

 

change the floor. it's cheap and easy DIY. specially with laminate.
when i was living in the place with carpet-i did exactly what Scataphagos proposed. well.. maybe a bit different..you buy a mat at local staples(made by\for staple)-use it. when it's crack-buy another one and return old one using fresh receipt from staples

Just looking for a new mat, not a new project. LOL

ET continues to provide excellent feedback.

 

Maybe consider a quality medium pile persian rug that'll help tie the room together. Cut up old plastic protective mat so it's a bit smaller than persian rug footprint, thus completely hidden, but more supportive for casters. You never know, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezQLP1dj_t8

If you have very high grade carpet, shouldn't need a plastic/glass cover. I did this for years before ripping it out and putting in Walnut. Casters never left permanent mark/divot in carpet.

 

Think outside of the box.

Install cables from ceiling and hang your chair.
