I just bought my second mat. I've had the first one for a year and I use it daily in my home office. It's held up great. Very durable. I know it will last for years to come. I like the beveled edge. It gives the mat a quality look and the chair rolls on and off it easily. I highly recommend this mat.
I chose this mat after reading the reviews (positive and negative) and comparing to other mats. We use it in our home office on carpet while sitting in a leather office chair. The chair rolls smoothly and easily on the mat. My husband is 185lbs and there are no dents creases or cracks in the mat after using it for 2 weeks. Great product!
We have the mat under a desk and part of it had to be slid under our bookshelf. It sometimes "bubbles up" on the corner. Quality is good for the price. The plastic seems very pliable. Our older one seemed a little more stiff but I don't know if that is better or not. It cracked after about six years of use (which is very good in my opinion.) Perhaps the pliability of this one will make it a better mat. I really can't say but I'll be happy if it also lasts five or six years.
This is all you had to sell me and it's just too thin. I've always bought my mats at Staples but this mat just let's the chair sink into it and then it's just too difficult to move it around. I don't have thick carpeting but I think this mat would only work on indoor/outdoor carpeting. I won't make this mistake again.
