If a chair mat can be beautiful, this product definitely does it! I bought this as a gift for my parents office to replace a crappy looking plastic mat and they love it. It came right of of the box and unfolded with no flipped up edges, it actually looks and feels like hardwood floors. They've only been using it for a month, but so far they love it. They've said that their old plastic one used to get divots in the plastic if you sat in one place to long without rolling and then it was hard to roll out of, but this bamboo mat doesn't have that problem. I'm always a fan of something that's functional and chic at the same time. I definitely would recommend this product.
