Wonderful Chair Mat

I read the description very carefully and though our office carpet is Low Pile I purchased this chair mat for Medium Pile. This is aligned with the recommendation from the brand in the pictures that you buy the next thickness up if you work 8 or more hours. I just got it a couple of hours ago so only time will tell but so far I love it. I no longer have to struggle to roll around my desk area. My chair wheels are making little dents in the mat but they haven't prevented my chair from rolling smoothly and they go away when I'm not in that spot anymore. I have included pictures of the minor dents as well as one of the whole mat and how the clear color blends in with the carpet.
As others noted the mat is not very thick. Its better than no mat but if I wanted it to last for years I would ahead & spend more. We are changing flooring in 9 months so I will invest in different mat then.
office chair location is on a carpeted floor. the carpeted floor needed protection from the wheels and weight of my new office chair. this mat stays in place in the carpet and does exactly what it was meant to do. protects the carpet and makes the moving of the chair easy and smooth.
I reviewed the measurements before purchasing and it seemed to be adequate. However once I laid it down I realized that it is really too small for normal movement around a decent sized desk.
