My carpet is not what I would consider high pile but I bought this mat due to full days sitting and I’m a bigger guy. The mat does hold up to a point but I still sink and leave impressions. This does make it difficult to move the chair. Even if it’s been only minutes. I wish they would just make a heavy duty for large people mat. When it was delivered it was not in a box or anything. The shipping tag was stuck to the mat and it was laid down outside my door. I would recommend this as a mat for anyone up to 250-275 but my 300lbs is pushing the limit.
Overall a good chair mat. I had to buy this new one after my old cracked ( it wasn't that old but got significantly more during this past year). Anyway this is a good chair mat it smoothed out nicely. I am just waiting for one small area one edge to smooth out over the carpet. Overall pleased with this purchase.
Ideally a thicker pad would be better The carpet and pad are at least 1/2 inch thick but so far this pad is working. The question is how long will it last?
Good chair mat for my medium pile carpet. I move a lot between 2 computer systems and this mat makes for smooth chair rolling. Not sure about long term durability but so far so good.
