Gets the job done!

We just had new carpeting installed and I thought this would do the job. Well YES and NO. The carpet and pad is .75-1.00" thick so I figured this would be adaquate. Unfortunately it is not stiff enough as I get deep depressions if I sit for a long time in one spot. The chair does roll well on it but maybe I should have purchased a more expensive one. Oh well! Live and Learn!
When used with an executive style chair the wheels of the chair sink into the mat making it difficult to roll the chair. This is on commercial carpet on a concrete floor.
Was purchased because other mat cracked. Not good enough construction. Chair seems to make indents and then doesn't glide. Would not recommend purchasing.
I use the plastic mat under my desk chair in my home office. The mat is not very thick which results in the chair wheels causing dents when I sit still for awhile. When that happens it is difficult to roll out of the dents. Trying to roll out of the dents without getting up from my chair results in the mat sliding on the carpet. This mat might work better on thinner carpet although it does require some nap. Flat carpet (no nap) or no carpet would not be good for this mat. It has teeth and needs to sink into something. I thought that 'plush' meant either heavy duty or for thick carpet. 'Plush' has turned out to be misleading.
