This is a good fairly priced chair mat for a person who will not be subjecting it to day in and day out heavy duty use. This particular mat will work best on a low pile carpet. For light occasional duty in a home office it will do the job and preserve the carpeting. I am satisfied with it but having used these protective mats in offices I recommend that if you need a mat that will really stand up to office heavy duty wear and tear and abuse for five days a week go with the thicker more expensive mats.
Isn't going to work for me. I need a "solid" chair mat. This one is hard to roll on as the wheels create depressions. I don't blame the mat as I'm 6'3 and weight 275. If your averaged size you might have better luck. I'll probably have to make something myself. Price was right so I gave it a shot.
