I've bought this in the past when it had the spike like cleats and it lasted for over 5 years of heavy use. This new cleat design gentler on hands. Make sure that when you buy one it is slightly pliable (new stock) and use it as it states on a flat pile rug like a commercial type. Older stock is already hardening and will crack and not last as long. Office temperature sun light exposure are other factors in durability. Great product at a great price!
The price of this mat was good but I also had a special Staples coupon that gave you an addittional $10 off which made this purchase a no brainer. I've only had this mat for about 2 weeks and it still looks good---only time will tell. The only downfall I have is the 2 loops on this mat that they use to hang up for display shows when you lay it down. So if you don't like these loops then you have to cut them off and we all know how bad it is to cut mats. So far for two weeks I'm happy.
I was looking for a mat to protect my carpet. This one was the only one small enough to fit and I love it. I don't fight with my chair anymore either because it rolls much smoother on the mat than it did before.
We ordered the mat for our home office. While we are pleased with the mat it took a week for it to uncurl from being squeezed in the shipping box. Be patient - it's worth it.
