Was not looking for and expensive mat but didn't want a cheap one that would fall apart quickly either. This one works well for a lower price point with good quality.
Beware when ordering this. I have black tar on the bottom of it that I am afraid will get on my carpet so I had to put a piece of cardboard over it. Also it comes in a heap that you can't get straighten out. I have a big ripple right in the middle of it. Very disappointed in Staples that they don't roll the carpet mat up so this don't happen. This is a quite expensive item to be delivered in that condition.
The mat itself is nice and would be perfect for a low-pile carpet. However it is described as being for a medium-pile carpet which isn't accurate. The cleats are only about 1/8 inch long. This means the chair you are using will not have enough support for the rollers which will sink deep into the mat causing too much flex. Within a couple of years the material ages and gets less flexible. This will cause the mat to crack. Was replacing a mat with the same type of cleats so speaking from experience.
The reason I am giving a 1 star is because the product does not work with thick pad or carpet. After 1 hour of use I had indents in the mat. This wouldn't allow the chair to roll. So I will be taking this mat back and finding something different. They will probably be great with thinner and stiffer carpet.
This was exactly what I needed to replace one that was completely falling apart. My chair moves very well on it and I would recommend it for anyone who is looking.
This is a bit flimsy and doesn’t hold up well with rolling chairs. I find that as I roll I get resistance from the mat. This mat also moves often and I find I have to readjust it. It works pretty well with regular chairs.
