Quality was sacrificed for low price

[...] Much too thin. So chair remains in "holes" under rollers and does not easily roll on surface. Die-cut is lopsided. i.e. the first spike row on underneath is skewed and does not go completely from left to right side.
I chose one of the less expensive floor mats as a beginning point. This one would be fine on low pile carpet with very thin or no padding. I am not heavy and the chair wheels sink into the mat and into the padded carpeting. The good part is the mat is sturdy enough it has not cracked in the 2 1/2 months of ownership.
So far this mat is doing great. It doesn't slip and my chair rolls smoothly. I do wish the piece that goes under the desk was a little larger since I do roll off the mat on the front end however that is only a very minor gripe. The last mat I had cracked very early on (it was purchased in-store folded down the middle). First it cracked several times down the middle seam then over the next year developed micro-cracks all over. So far this new mat is holding up well without a single crack (about 2 months in)!
We use this mat on our hard wood floors. We are at the computer every day. It works great. The only problem I notice is that it slides around. I am going to try to figure out a way to keep that from happening. For now I just readjust it every couple of days. Great mat for the money!
We use this to protect the wood floors in our office. It's next to another desk with one from [...] and what a difference! This one is a MUCH better quality- Slides a tiny bit (but not as much as the other)- but looks better (our other already looks worn where the chair wheels are) and all the around is a better value.
