I've ordered these over the last 10 yrs for use on low pile commercial carpet. Here's the thing these are cheap but crack in 1-2 yrs depending on the users' weight. But since $130 mats crack in 2-3 yrs as well at $30-$40 each these still offer the best value prop. Average lifespan I've seen is about one year is you weigh 200lbs (like me) and 2-3 yrs if you weigh 125-150lbs. If anyone experiences a 5 yr life on more expensive Quill mats please post it because I'll definitely give them a try!
This mat comes in a box rolled up. Unrolling it should be on funniest home videos. I am now ordering the more expensive one that will work. Don't order this one.
