the carpet mat that I order and had delivered came in excellent condition. I have been using the mat for over a week and it is doing its job of protecting my carpet. I would recommend this mat if you are looking to protect a carpet in your office.
This is the second one I'm purchasing as the first one still in use but with another chair is still doing its job. The reason I am purchasing the second one is the one it's replacing doesn't grip the carpet and thus moves around. That makes it difficult to use and cumbersome when trying to put it back in place. The one I'm buying stays in place and allows me to move my chair effortlessly. Its weight is sufficient to hold my rolling office chair and the surface of the carpet mat allows the chair to move easily. This mat protects my carpet and because it's clear it doesn't interfere with my decor. In fact it's hardly noticeable. The price point is good. I think I'm getting good value for my investment.
Great for office or home. Protects your carpeting from excessive wear and tear. Good size for office chairs. Would have wished it were a bit thicker but for my purpose it is OK. Does not seem to crack slightly pliable.
