I've bought this mat before and it's the one thing that every home office needs. In time the plastic will start to crack and break but that's probably a good 10 years down the road. Since most people get complacent about vacuuming and cleaning "office" carpets be aware that the mat will leave a distinguishable mark in a couple years depending on the amount of foot traffic.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Very disappointing. Identical type carpet that I had for years that started cracking due to chair rolling on it for years. The 2 carpets I purchased from Staples to replace them were smaller and twice as expensive plus they do not adhere to the room carpeting as securely as the 2 I replaced. Would NOT recommend this product.
