I bought this mat hoping the wheels on my desk chair would roll on the carpet with this mat on it. Did NOT happen mat is too thin should have bought a solid one. Better luck next time
I named my new mat "Scooter" because it scoots all over the floor!

Perfect size and seems tough enough to protect my hybrid vinyl floor that is on a concrete floor in my man cave/forced home office.. My problem is the mat scoots an inch or two every time I get up and walk away. This mat is textured on both sides.. If you are going to buy one of these mats search more for one that has a smooth side to grip the smooth floor and a textured side to look and feel good from the top. My mistake but I am going to keep it and perhaps find some double-sided clear tape to hold it in place.. Shipping was very fast!
I'm 180 lbs sit on a standard 5-leg office chair. Mat sits on a 1/4" deep wall to wall rug.Sitting still 15 minutes at desk leaves a dimple under front wheels that's difficule to roll out of. Totally unsatisfactory. I have already ordered a replacement(tempered glass). It's like the plastic wasn't cured. My previous mat was thinner and totally satisfactory but too small(3x4)- kept rolling of the edges. This one is almost 50% thicker(0.1 vs 0.145) but much less supportive. I was suprised - and dissappointed.
We have the mat under a desk and part of it had to be slid under our bookshelf. It sometimes "bubbles up" on the corner. Quality is good for the price. The plastic seems very pliable. Our older one seemed a little more stiff but I don't know if that is better or not. It cracked after about six years of use (which is very good in my opinion.) Perhaps the pliability of this one will make it a better mat. I really can't say but I'll be happy if it also lasts five or six years.
It stays in securely in place. I like the mat but the chair wheels leaves little indentations in the mat. It does seem to smooth back out after awhile.
