Exactly what to expect.

This is the second time I have purchased this item. The original lasted over 3 before it started to crack. I have a very soft carpet so I feel it lasted as long as it should have especially for the price. If your rug is fairly thin then I would expect this chair mat will last longer than the 3 years mine did. The price had remained the same when I purchased it for a second time so it was a no brainer. If you are looking for a decent chair mat thats under $50 then this is definitely your choice a solid mat for a good price.
good product. did not have this item in the store. ordered at the store and had it delivered . good service to have there. the best part it was delayed by 1 day they called to let me know it would come the next day. it did.
This is my 3rd time with this carpet chair mat in my home office. With a carpeted floor they are a necessity. They do a fine job protecting the carpet (can keep it clean and new looking underneath) and allow my chair to roll. The down side is that they wear in a relatively short time i.e. they deform under the weight of the wheels and split apart where the weight force is pushing down on them at first just a little and then a lot of sharp plastic splits. Also they are overpriced with seldom any type of sale.
I bought this mat to replace one which had served for more than 6 years of hard use. The new mat appears to be very sturdy and being clear doesn't contrast strongly with the underlying carpet. The chair rolls smoothly on the mat and I expect that the carpet will continue in good condition through the life cycle of the mat. The mat was on sale and there was a good selection from which to choose. The price on sale was very reasonable and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to preserve a carpet under or around a desk.
The only "down" side to this chair mat is I feel it is a bit thin in construction. Chair wheels still make carpet dents but they aren't as bad as without the mat
