I needed the larger chairmat because I have to roll around alot in my cubicle. The last one I bought was a little more firm and did not give way under the weight of me and my chair. This one seemed a tad thinner in construction. Nevertheless this is a good buy for the money.
Store sales associate said it should be sturdy enough for my weight (210) but my chair pushes the pad down making indentations and it is hard to then roll the chair across the mat. I'm not happy with it at all.
I have only had the mat for two weeks and it seems to hold up. The only concern I have is what time will tell. My old one cracked up after three months. We will see what this one does.
I bought this for my home office that has Berber carpet. From the start it would get indents from the chair wheels. After a little over a year it is cracked and falling apart. I am not a large person so it should have lasted longer. I called customer service and they were very helpful trading this one in for the heavy duty one. Hopefully it will last longer than one year.
This item is being used as I write.Purhased mat earlier today.Have been on it now for approximatly one hour.There are wheel indentations left throughout.Mat is sitting on commercial carpet. I am a male 50 yrs.old weighing 190lbs.Will see just what happens from here.
