I use something like this. Sometimes the dog can make it move but not often
Non-slip rug cushion
Which unfortunately don't work on thick carpets. I need to come up with something to put under my computer desk. The carpet pile is so thick that those plastic mats are useless, unless they come in solid 1/2" thick polycarbonate.Originally posted by: sswingle
Thats why they make those plastic mats to put under chairs with wheels.

But they do
I've seen plenty of those really thick, transluscent plastic sheets that go under desk chairs and they have spikes on the underside to grip the rug and keep the plastic mat from moving around.

Well I don't know what it'd have to be made out of. It's a thick carpet, with a sheet of foam underneath. I did get one of those plastic mats, but it's far too flexible - the chair sinks right into it, leaving deep dents in the plastic. I'm thinking something more like a 4'x8' sheet of waferboard would be better. Problem is that I'd need to rent a van to get it here. $7.30 for the wood, $25+ for the van. And I can't just move the desk to another room, as the entire apartment is carpeted, with the exception of the bathroom.Originally posted by: Capt Caveman

Yep, just need to look harder.
To the OP, just buy some double-sided rug tape for $4.
