Time will tell. My chair rollers leave impressions in the pad. Previous pad had same problem & eventually cracked. If this happens again I might have to buy a pad so thick that it cannot be supplied in a roll or folded up.
I was in need of a chair mat. I had searched online at various places and also in local stores. The price was more than I cared to pay for a chair mat. I happened to go into a Staples store and the chair mat was on sale. For some reason I do not always receive Staples sales paper in my Sunday paper. I am not sure why. Anyway I was excited about the deal and decided to grab it while it was available.
Home office perfect as long as you dont move around too much with you chair. On a wooden floor I have to put it back in place once every couple of days as it slides a few inches.
