Cracks and Holes

This is the 3rd mat I have purchased and they seem to be getting worse. They crack and get holes right in the middle of the mat. Doesn't last as long as I would have expected. Will be checking for an alternative this time around.
Protective chair mats are IMHO a purchase which is a necessary evil. Mats do not add to the decor of the room but I must say it goes a long way in protecting the rug surface from chair roller wear. Do tend to last years. Hope the material does not discolor over time.
It is under my office chair in my home office. It is better than trying to roll about on the carpet unfortunately I manage to create lovely little depressions when I sit in one place too long. Those depressions seem to be permanent (probably because I am a big person). But no worries it gets the job done.
We use these in the office and they get quite a bit of use. We have been using them for quite some time now and they last a long time. I have no negative comments at this time. I'll buy them everytime.
Did not want to spend the money but the carpet needed the protection as I scoot between 2 computers back and forth. I was hesitant to get one because I also hop up a lot to the printer etc and I did not want the chair to slip out from under me. So far its been just what I needed. I think I move arond enough that the chair dents will be evenly distributed but it is the econony one so it is on the thin side.
Using in home office; carpet and pad are about half-inch total; have had less than a week. A valley forms under the chair wheels when I am sitting but chair rolls easily once nudged from the valley. Depressions left by wheels bounce back soon after I get up from chair. Overall I'm quite satisfied with performance.
