Does not hold up well.

The size price and look of this mat is great. The only problem is that it doesn't hold up long enough. It gets big cracks after a short time and I am on my third one in 5 years.
I have thicker carpet and for the price of the mat I could not go wrong but it does seem to slide and because of the way my desk is 2 pieces I am constantly having to reposition the mat. My husband however has a one piece desk and is perfectly content with the same mat.
This was my first mat for home use. It came rolled up but that wasn't a problem. In several moments it was straight. The only small issue I have is that it moves on the floor. Otherwise for the money it's great!!
In 6 months or less the mat will get brittle crack crumble and need to be replaced. But it is better than trying to use my chair on a rug without it. There has to be a better way to make the product last. I have purchased enough of them that I should have bought stock in the company to get rich.
