Excellent for thinner carpets

I purchased this as a replacement for a thinner vinyl mat that I used until it fell apart over a period of many years. I use it on low pile Berber carpet sitting directly on a tile floor (no pad under the carpet). HOWEVER I can see that it is soft enough to develop wheel indentations on a thicker pile carpet. Also I bought mine at the local Staples store where it was hanging on a display rack and brought it home flat. It is beefy enough that if it comes rolled up it will take some effort and time to flatten out. It is easy to roll on and it doesn't budge on the carpet. For those with deep pile carpet a rigid chair mat is the best option. Anything that is flexible/vinyl will be a disappointment.
This is a decent mat for the price and keep my chair from sinking into the carpet however like others have mentioned the wheels leave indents in the mat. It is bearable and the mat is still usable so it’s not too bad.
This is a good floor mat for the price not great but good enough for our needs. We have it on a low pile carpet. It does indent some where the chairs wheels are but now enough to prevent the chair from moving when we want. I know that other reviewers have had this problem but we haven't.
This mat is apparently only to be used on carpet that is 1/8" thick or less. Our mat was closer to 1/4" thick. From time of purchase till we submitted info for a warranty (less than 3 months) the mat was destroyed with huge cracks everywhere. I do not recommend this mat.
