Did not last long enough

Purchased this mat for my home office. Between my husband and I it received average use though not as much as a full time job. It was terrific when it first arrived but fell apart within the year. I would find pieces of hard plastic all over the floor as it broke away. I would have loved it if it had better lasting power. The grips on the bottom were also very sharp and I hurt myself more than once trying to shift the mat under the desk. Ouch!
Good product but bought it in Broomfield Colorado and paid well over 8% sales tax. Won't ever shop again at the Staples store in Broomfield because of that.
Perfect size for space .. the only drawback was the incredibly strong chemical odor that persisted for a week after delivery. My boss thought there were burning tires in my office.
[...] It was not protected by cardboard so the spikey back was exposed and awkward to carry to the office areas without getting jabbed. Not to mention they were just plopped on the floor in a pile bent and curled. Plus without the packaging the manufacturer's label is permanently affixed to the mat and it doesn't come off without some kind of effort and solvent. So now we just have to look at it all day under our feet and it is rather unsightly and unprofessional looking. The label should be removable without stickiness and excess effort. I haven't had it long enough to see the long term wear and tear effects. But I do like the size. Works well in our areas at the office. The edges are beveled nicely too. Seems like it should hold up fine.
