This mat is made of thin plastic. Although it protects your carpet for a short time it quickly breaks leaving plastic shards all under the mat. Not a real big fan. Don't waste your money and buy a more expensive mat that will last more than 2 months.
THE MAT WORKS FOR THE SPACE WE NEEDED IT IN. IS A LOT THINNER THAN THE LAST ONE WE HAD. COULD BE THICKER AND MORE DURABLE. IT DOES STAY IN PLACE ON THE CARPET WELL.
The floor mat is ideal for my use. Rolling my office chair from my desk to my computer station is much easier with the chair mat and reduces the wear and tear on the carpet. I would recommend this chair mat to others.
