It breaks down after a year or so because of my deep pile home office carpet. But I don't know that a more expensive one would do any better on this surface. So I stick with cheap and know I'll have to replace in less than two years.
Would not recommend on carpet as it slides all over the carpet; and my chair makes huge indentations in it (no I am not that heavy). Flimsy material; but you get what you pay for. The next one will be sturdier. I move a lot between desk and printer; and the mat moves with me.
I've had a few mats and some lasted quite a while the last one I had only lasted a couple years. I'm not a heavy person so I never expect the mat to crack but the last one that I got at [@] cracked really bad. I especially like the edges on this mat. I have birds and usually the seed and feathers gather along the edges of the mat. This one stays down and nothing gets under it. I saw some complaints about dimpling but after using this for a week there has been no dimpling. I have a frequent visitor who comes and stays a few days every couple months. He weighs well over 330 pounds. He doesn't sit at my desk much but he does a little so that will be the test. If it makes it through his visit I'll be happy. If not I'll come back and let you all know.
