No sliding around!

I work in a high activity workplace lots of hustle and bustle and chair movement. Our floor happens to be tiled with deep grooves for the grout in which our office chair wheels would get stuck in. Very annoying. Other chair mats we had would slide all over the place making them a safety hazard. This one sits in place actually nice to walk on (softer feel than tile) and so far provides a smooth rolling surface. The large area allows for not sliding off any direction I decide to roll too which is even better. Go big or go home!
I bought it to support a slide-out table in a craft cabinet. It does a really good job of letting the table slide out smoothly while protecting the carpet from wear and tear.
After reading reviews for this mat I hesitated before buying. Then I found reviews of more expensive mats had the same poor reviews. I guess people are buying it for the wrong applications...this is for a low-pile carpet...not wood floors or heavy-pile carpets. I expect to get years of use from this product since I purchased it for the proper application So-far so-good.
