Ideally a thicker pad would be better The carpet and pad are at least 1/2 inch thick but so far this pad is working. The question is how long will it last?
Overall a good chair mat. I had to buy this new one after my old cracked ( it wasn't that old but got significantly more during this past year). Anyway this is a good chair mat it smoothed out nicely. I am just waiting for one small area one edge to smooth out over the carpet. Overall pleased with this purchase.
Good chair mat for my medium pile carpet. I move a lot between 2 computer systems and this mat makes for smooth chair rolling. Not sure about long term durability but so far so good.
I have had issues with cheaper mats and my chair wheels digging pits into them specifically bought this to avoid that and I'm ready to throw it in the trash after using from New Years to mid-April. It gets a lot of use but I weigh 185lbs would think that it could handle an average-ish weight but nope.
