A crazy request: floor mat spikes?
Ok, I'm putting this message up here because I'm out of ideas, but I'm sure these things exist.
You know those hard plastic office floor mats you use if you have a computer chair with wheels? Well, I special-ordered two very large ones (4' x 5') that are made of a very hard plastic (no wheel indents on these). But much to my dismay, both sides are sheer - there isn't a "down" side with spikes to stick the mat into the carpet. The result is that the mats slide around my office floor, which means almost every day I have to reposition them.
When I called the company who sold them to me, RGO Office Products, they didn't see anything unusual with an floor mat lacking spikes. They said I could get small spikes that could be added to the mat - one side would be sticky, one side would have the spikes. I called Grand & Toy as they suggested, and they didn't carry such an item. I've heard people say that Staples has them, but I've tried two Staples in my area (and looked in the catalogue), and can't find any mention of such an item. I've spent 10 minutes searching using Google, and couldn't find anything.
So here's my request: do such things exist? If you've seen something like that in your area, post here and I'll buy them from you.
