Not good for the price.

This item was delived warped and cracked. It works but it won't lay flat no matter what we do. It's not worth the price. I would expect this from a [$] mat not a [$] mat.
Mat was shipped coiled up inside a box and it took about a week of sitting on the floor with weights placed over the major bends to get it to flatten out. I had expected to see long "spikes" on the bottom of the mat to penetrate the 3/4 inch thickness of carpet plus pad and help provide support. I'm hoping that the mat is thick enough to provide that support without the longer spikes but that will take a while to see. Based on defletion at each chair roller with only about a weeks use I have my doubts. I reallly don't want to have to invoke the warranty!
This is a great product that functions as promised. Be very careful when unrolling and placing this item. The teeth on the underside are SHARP and can take the flesh right off your hands and arms (also a natural lure for cats when rolled up). I would not advise letting kids help you with this. I put some bricks on it overnight after placing it on the rug. By morning it was perfectly flat and has stayed that way. This one is in my teenager's room and I plan to buy another one for my home office.
