Chair Mat

Even though my office chair has large rollers and the chair mat had the highest rating for resisting indentations on carpet this mat does not adequately resist indentation.
The description says it's for use on carpets up to 1" thick including padding but on my carpet (which qualifies) the chair depresses the mat enough that it won't move easily out of the depression...you have to really forcefully scoot it into moving. The mat is otherwise attractive and protective but it just isn't rigid enough to allow the chair to move easily. When this mat starts to show breakdown it will be replaced with a bamboo one as I have in my second PC location. They're the best!
I have a medium high pile (sort of like shag) carpeting where my desk and chair are. This mat is the perfect size so I can roll in my chair over to my filing cabinet from my desk with ease! The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it came with this REALLY sticky residue tape securing it closed in the box that I am struggling to get off completely. Dirt and items stick to it. I have used Goo Gone and other products and still it won't come off! If it weren't for that it would be 5 stars for sure!
I've used a mat like this for years and it's a great product. It arrived by UPS quickly and was easy to lay down since it was not tightly curled up like other products have been.
