I had the same problem last year. It arrrives outside my house filthy taped with sticky gooey tape that takes me 45 minutes to remove. the one I order last year is already ripped under my chair . Poor quality and I had to return the one last year. I am still trying to get the dirt off of the one I just received. Very poor quality control on your part!
We have two computer desks in our house both on top of carpet flooring. It was difficult to roll the computer chairs on the carpeting and actually broke one chair's castors doing so. It was also starting to mat down the carpeting. We knew we had to do something. We checked at Staples found two mats we liked bought both intending see which one fit the best and return the other one. But we ended up liking both very much and they fit the space we needed them for so we are keeping them both!
This is the second computer chair mat I have ordered. It's the thickest I can buy without resorting to a metal plate. I have berber carpet with a medium pad underneath so it really isn't that thick. This mat provides good support for about 3 years but then it starts to break down. Cracks appear and about 3 months after that it becomes unusable. That's why I wish this mat was a bit thicker. But it certainly works well for those first 3 years.
Stays in place on carpet easy to move roller chair. Doesn't take up excessive space but large enough to move around for access to peripheral items at computer table.
I ordered this chair mat to replace my standart mat with lip not thinking that I had to lift up part of my desk to get the mat under one leg. With that accomplished I love this mat. In a home office the mat is big enough so I can stay on it to roll from desk to printer and filing. I'll never go back to a standard lip mat.
