disappointing chairmat

depressions formed the first day I used this chair mat from the wheels on my chair. I'm not heavy so this mat isn't thick enough to withstand normal use in my opinion
I use a rolling walker and need a flat surface to use over the rug underneath my desk. I use this mat adjacent to one of Staples' desk mats to make a large smooth surface. Ir works geat.
I ordered this mat from staples to replace one I had gotten from them about 2 years ago. I was expecting a similar product as it was the same price as the previous one I ordered. I was very disapointed when this arrived to find that is was the not much thicker than a plastic runner you would use in a hallway. I would not order one of these agai.
This chair mat works well in protecting the carpet but every 2 days I have to re-position it. The mat tends to move 4" - 8" (primarily back away from the desk) after a couple of days of sitting in and moving the desk chair backwards in order to stand up. If that won't bother you it works very well.
This product appears to be of good quality. It is ideal for low pile carpet could be a little wider but was the best size for the space I had. The clear finish blends well in my office. The gripping devices on the back of the mat secures it in place. It will clean easy. I would recommend it to anyone who does not want to wear their carpet out with castors on office chairs. The free delivery was a definite plus as the mat is awkard to transport in a car. Also the awards applying to the purchase was great.
I bought this for my home office. In the store it was my only option even though the display indicated there are several grades to choose from based on one's needs. It works fine not worth a return and continued shopping but it's not what I'd call heavy duty. I'm 130 lbs and there are indentions in it from me sitting in the chair a few hours a day. So far those indents have not obstructed it's ability to be useful.
