Good mat. Works as expected. I don't like how it didn't come in any sort of box or container just the mat. This means it came with some pre-existing scratches and dirt and for that I have to take a star off.
Although somewhat large size perfect for office area where needed. Easy to put down and laid flat almost immediately. Seems to be high quality and durable; prior mat from other source was not well made and split down one side. Mat area gets a lot of use.
I bought this specifically for my carpet because it said it can be used for carpet/padding up to 1” in thickness. The grooves on the underside of this mat are about 1/4” in depth which provides no real relief to the carpet it’s on. The mat itself indents along with the carpet when I’m using my chair on it.
I have a plush carpet in my home office so I bought the Staples PlushMat Chair Mat to use with my desk and office chair. The wheels of the chair rides on the mat well enough; however sitting in the chair for long periods causes deep impressions in the mat which gets the wheels stuck. It’s somewhat annoying having to rock the chair back and forth to get out of the ruts but it would be harder to roll the chair on the carpet itself without the mat. Anyway as I said it works well enough depending on the deepness or plush of your carpet but I wish the mat was thicker to minimize the deep impressions/ruts. Ultimately I’d tentatively recommend that mat depending on how thick your carpet is.
The mat is exactly what we needed to protect the carpet under our office chair. It is a great size good quality and stays in position. It was delivered quickly!
