Adequate....

The comments about sum it up. A larger one would be nicer but this is adequate. It has the same anti-static benefits - also the same "keep the carpet clean and unworn" benefits as the more expensive brands. The main thing I would say on this is that it could be bigger. Hence the "adequate" rating.
We have it on thick carpet and it is too soft the edge curl up when you roll near an edge. Also the teeth aren't large enough to bite into the carpet so it slides around.
This is my 2nd chair mat for this year...my 4th in 5 yrs...normally they last me about 1 year but this one didn't. Having read ALL the reviews on more expensive mats [really more expensive] I decided to go w/this one since it seems to last just about as long as the others. My carpet is not extremely thick nor very thin and I am of average weight [150] so the fact that the mats ALWAYS crack and eventually just give up seems to be endemic to the product! Hope they come up w/one that will last longer then 6 months!
This mat should only be used on very thin carpeting. The description says low pile and that is very important. The cleats make it unsuitable for bare floors.
