The vinyl carpet protector is not as heavy as I had hoped it would be. My wife and I share a home with our daughter and two children. We occupy the large room upstairs which has a sofa in it that we use often to watch TV. The area in front of the sofa became dirty quickly, so I purchased the protector to keep that area clean. It does help with that, but it does not lay flat and grab the carpet well. I am often straightening it out. For the price, it is adequate but not exceptional. The delivery time of the item was very good.

It does the job. Heavy-duty, holding up very well. Not quite "clear" as advertised. There is a definite blue cast to them...but it's not obnoxious. I would have preferred truly CLEAR plastic, though, and think the add should admit that there is a slight color to the runners. Still, I'm glad I got it. It's working well for the purpose intended.

Product is somewhat thin, does not have the weight to keep the edges flat on floor 24/7. Edges have tendencies of curling up and catches door on opening/closing process. But couldn't expect too much for the cost of product. "You get what you pay for."

These carpet protectors are really too thin to be useful. They curl up, and are more of a tripping hazard than anything else. They need heavy furniture on the ends to hold the edges down.

The Superior American 5300069 (27" x 6') vinyl carpet protector is a good deal if you purchase one for less than $10. It works well on lightly travelled carpets. However, the protector is also thin and it tends to curl up at the edges quite for a while after its been laid down. So, you'll need to find a way to handle the curls, particularly on the corners of the protector. Again, this is not a protector for heavilly travelled areas of your home: It's just too thin, making it prone to jostle out of position if traversed upon too much. However, for lightly travelled areas, it serves as a decent carpet protector for the price.

I went to target and you get the same item for 7.99 vice 16 dollars plus change that I paid for here.

When reading over the other reviews I saw so many complaints I almost didn't buy this. Instead I made sure that I had some small nails on hand so I could tack it down if necessary. I never needed them. I have carpet in the bathroom, grrr, and I use this as a runner laying my bathmat and toilet mat on top of it. It keeps the water off the carpet and any "misses" the boys might have. Half of it is not covered by anything and it lays down just fine. I did roll it up the opposite direction from shipping thinking that might help it lay flat. Worth the money, would buy again.

This product I received today, and I am using it for under the barstools, where the counter is in the dining room, to protect the carpet from food. So, far the only issue I have encountered is that it does not want to lay flat on one side, and I often step on the sharp part, so I am thinking about cutting off that side, maybe cutting that little piece off will help. Right now, my husband just stepped on it, as I was typing this lol. So, he placed a barstool on the end to try and flatten it, if that helps I will let you know. But, overall the product is great, and shipping was fast. Also, it is a great price!
