This is a great product and does stay on the thin office carpet I have it on. That's not the problem in fact that's a good thing. However my darn office chair wheels continue to slip easily off of the mat which makes me crazy. Because I just had my left hip replaced and when I go to sit down I have to make sure that I'm holding onto the arms of the chair very tightly or the chair will leave me and I'd fall down. Life gets crazier and crazier for me. :)
