I feel like this mat would work great on a low carpet. Perhaps I didn't read the description thoroughly. I am working from home in my apartment and the carpet is average. So because there's a cushion when I sit on my chair it has started to make indentations on the mat. But overall it's protecting the carpet from the wheels so I cannot complain anymore. Next time I'll look into a thicker mat for this carpet.
Within 2 hour of using this mat it had dents in it that made it difficult to move my chair. Now I have something big and awkward to return to Staples when the stores are closed due to 'staying at home' orders.
