Chairmat

For the price the mat if fine. The chair wheels settle into the mat making it harder to roll.If you spend a lot of time working at a desk it would be worth spending the extra money for a more solid surface.
Chair rolls on it quietly. That's a plus after being in offices where the mat under your chair makes it sound like a freight train when you move around.
This is the second time I bought this mat and I had the same experience both times. It got multiple cracks after just a few months and actually cut my foot in 2 places. I will NOT be buying it a third time!
I purchased the mat to replace my prior mat that I had for five years. The older mat required replacement due to breaking and chipping due to wear and tear. This mat appears to be more malleable than the prior mat and may hold up longer than the prior mat. If you sit in one spot for two long the mat will develop dents where the casters are. However it appears that when you move the chair away the dents do go away as a result of the malleable material. I have seen no issues with moving my chair around on the mat. I have currently had the mat for about one month.
