This is my second desk mat and I am sure it will hold up as well as the first one. I have carpeted floors in my apt. and this is a necessity. I am pleased with the amount of use it gets. I sit at my desk more than on my chair or sofa.
When we received the mat it was rolled in a box. It was very hard to unroll and after 1 week the edges are still curled. I put some heat with a hair dryer on the edges and the weighted them and it seemed to help. Seems like if it was rolled the opposite way in the box it may be better.
