I purchased this mat thinking it would be suitable for a high pile carpet but the chair wheels make an impression on the mat and I get stuck and cannot move unless I jerk the chair up out of the indentions. Would not buy this again.
A 200lb weight on a 5-wheeled office chair is too much for this mat. It does protect the carpet from the deep wheel marks; however the chair wheels create depressions in the mat. Hindsight tells me I should have opted for the heavy pile carpet (I am currently working on ~3/8" pile carpet)
I put it down the day I received it. In no time were there divots. I have to move the chair every so often so I'm not stuck in them. It is a great size for the home office but it should be thicker.
The mat I received is not good for 3/4" carpet/padding

Our shipment arrived the driver recognized that it was chipped/cracked (it is cold here) so he returned it to warehouse without notifying us and we had a replacement delivered the next day. I have not noticed any issues with smell as I know that was an issue with a mat we ordered several years ago. The reason I am giving this mat 2 stars is that it is supposed to be rated for 3/4"carpet pile but it is creating "pits" where the rollers are at while I am sitting at my desk. So I get "stuck" and have to use extra force to back up my chair. The mat doesn't have very deep carpet numbs on the backside and the only label was only the staples shipping label so there is no way to confirm that I got the correct mat. I measured my carpet with a paperclip before ordering this mat and it is 3/4" high carpet and pad.
