Mats will do the job. Was concerned they were so crinkled but after 2 days spread out on a 95 degree garage floor they flattened right out. Wish shipper had at least rung the door bell when they were delivered instead of leaving them in a heap in the garage.
It's only been a couple of weeks...so far holding up

It's always difficult picking out a chair mat for thicker carpeting. The last ones we bought as staples were a bit thicker and lasted 2 years. They had cracked a lot...but we knew to expect that. We couldn't find the same thickness to replace them but I'm thinking that these might be better. Being just a tish thinner they bend and form better under the weight of the chair/person. The downside is that there are "divots" that the wheels get stuck in...but it's still better than trying to roll the chair on thick carpeting.
I ordered a chair mat for Low Pile Carpet from another source and it works great. I recently ordered a few more from Staples and we sink into the carpet. It seems that the chair mat is not sturdy/ thick enough to prevent the rolling feet of our office chairs from sinking into the plastic making it difficult to roll.
