This mat is thick. I ordered a higher end one so that it would last forever and also not get stuck on chair casters etc. But I was surprised by how pretty it was! it is crystal clear and lets my hardwood show through beautifully--not what I have seen in offices. so great for home or high-end use or anywhere where looks count.
My workstation for my home office is in the dining room. This mat is protecting my hardwood floors from futher damage from my rolling desk chair. It is well worth the cost and does the job for which I purchased it. It does tend to move over time but I spend about four hours per day at the workstation and have to reposition it maybe every two weeks. That's a minor inconvenience. If you need to move a significant distance (to access a printer fax or file cabinet etc.) it may be too small so pay attention to the size.
