I know, how beautfiul does a chair mat have to be? But this thing is gorgeous. However, I plan to use it off label. I needed something to do walk aerobics on in front of my TV where there's carpet. I rolled out the mat and walked around on it. I was able to move okay--and it didn't, so I have high hopes. I haven't done a workout on it yet because I twisted my knee, but I'm looking forward to using it. If it doesn't work for that, I'll repurpose it beneath my office chair. I can't lose!
