First things first, I actually don't own any chairs. I have been looking for a mat which would protect my old hardwood floor from my exercise equipment. The Mind Reader PVC mat is the perfect size to keep my bike, dumbbells, barbell, and kettlebells on. With my bike, I used to get indentations on the floor despite using a rubber mat. The PVC seems to protect the floor much better. It's thin, non-slip, and looks so much better than gym mats I've been finding. The only issue I had was trying to get the top part not to curl. It started laying more flat on a warm day so I think I should've used a low-heat blowdryer to speed up the process. Overall, great protection for the floors. For me, it's a great option for my small gym corner.
