This is the second computer chair mat I have ordered. It's the thickest I can buy without resorting to a metal plate. I have berber carpet with a medium pad underneath so it really isn't that thick. This mat provides good support for about 3 years but then it starts to break down. Cracks appear and about 3 months after that it becomes unusable. That's why I wish this mat was a bit thicker. But it certainly works well for those first 3 years.
This chair mat is way too flimsy to be of any value. It does not grip the carpet. Instead it creeps to the edge of the desk until it begins to buckle and form bumps. If you step on it near the edge the edge pops up and becomes a tripping hazard. Rolling on this chair mat is almost impossible because the rollers tend to sink into the flexible mat. I wish I had spent more money on a more rigid mat. This has been a very disappointing experience with a company with which I have always valued doing business.
I ordered this chair mat to replace my standart mat with lip not thinking that I had to lift up part of my desk to get the mat under one leg. With that accomplished I love this mat. In a home office the mat is big enough so I can stay on it to roll from desk to printer and filing. I'll never go back to a standard lip mat.
Stays in place on carpet easy to move roller chair. Doesn't take up excessive space but large enough to move around for access to peripheral items at computer table.
