It's only been a couple of weeks...so far holding up

It's always difficult picking out a chair mat for thicker carpeting. The last ones we bought as staples were a bit thicker and lasted 2 years. They had cracked a lot...but we knew to expect that. We couldn't find the same thickness to replace them but I'm thinking that these might be better. Being just a tish thinner they bend and form better under the weight of the chair/person. The downside is that there are "divots" that the wheels get stuck in...but it's still better than trying to roll the chair on thick carpeting.
Carpet was delivered not rolled evenly - would not lie flat when placed down. Had to place heavy boxes x several days to get the "waves" out of the carpet so that it would lie flat.
The Chair Mat we had for more than 10 years was falling apart. When I checked the internet how much they cost Walmart was the cheapest. So that's where I planned to buy it. Then there was an email from Staples: 25 % off for 1 item only for that day! End of the story cheaper at Staples. It is a beautiful mat. Fits perfect under and in front of the computer desk. Heavy plastic and sticks nicely to the carpet. A great buy for a super price! Thanks.
