Ordered this chair mat because I just had new carpet installed in my office. This mat is doing a great job protecting the carpet from indentations and wear. Very satisfied .
This matt is so soft and flexible the chair sinks into it as if there's no matt at all. I saw it was recommended for short pile carpet and we're on a hardwood floor with industrial carpet so I figured it would be great. DOES NOT make it easier to roll the chair in fact it's worse than the carpet alone. I put it into the store room incase someone else wants it.
Minimal packaging (label only) which is great. Delivered flat; does NOT come rolled as others I have purchased (and now discarded). Made of firm sturdy appearing plastic but is not unbendable. Plastic is softer than I like; still functional. Yes the chair casters create dents. Worse with longer day duration use high end high pile carpeting and heavier users but less of an issue than with softer mats. Bonus: This mat has not been "creeping" on my floor - great to put it in place and know it will not move!

It works fine for about a year then it starts to disintegrate from the pressure on the plastic from the thin rollers of the chair. Pounds per square inch must be extremely high. Design deficiency is the chair rollers not the mat.
