Too soft chair can't roll. Mat may be mislabeled for carpet depth

This chair mat rated for carpet + pad up to 3/4 inch should be down with the those rated for 1/8 inch combination. The mat is very soft. The chair wheels make deep dents in it even when the chair is not occupied. Once seated I cannot move the chair w/o great effort. Such effort could cause me to come out of the chair - it takes that much pushing or pulling on adjacent furniture to move the chair. It is a hazard and will be returned for one that is more firm. Previous two mats both purchased from Staples did not have this problem and they were less expensive.
The mat is just as described and protects the carpet. Our old mat was for a lower pile carpet and had been broken up by the rollers of the desk chair. This mat is designed to prevent the chair from depressing under the weight of the chair. From the very beginning the mat laid flat since it was shipped flat and not rolled up in a box. We are very pleased with the Medium Pile Carpet Chair Mat.
The mat was exactly what I wanted and what I ordered. It was delivered late in the day but still on time . Delivery man helped me with the mat and I am grateful because it was more then I can handle.
Ordered a high/thick pile carpet chair mat and when I went to pick it up it was a flimsy mat less than 1/10" thick and not appropriate for high pile carpet. The good news is they immediately processed a refund as I would not accept the item.
