you get what you pay for. recommend only if you are in a budget and only use occasionally for home use. In all fairness not a lot of hard plastic chairmats are like how it used to be made.
Not much more to say. My working space is small just enough for this mat but I wanted to have peace of mind that I would not be damaging the floor when rolling with my chair. This mat definitely does the job. Moreover because of its transparency I forget it is there!
