I had a painted cement floor, it was great. Now that we moved last Nov. The rooms in the new house are carpeted and I have a desk chair with wheels. It's a high/low shag. I would pull it out but we are moving to a bigger place with the hopes of wood or laminate for my "sewing room". If it was an indoor/outdoor carpet, I would be fine with it. But it takes some muscle's in my legs to move this chair around and if I were staying I would pull it in a heart beat.
