Bought in October and by early December the mat was cracked and broken. This is with moderate use. Suggest purchasing something else which I now have to do as well.
Moved to a new home with carpeting at my desk so I purchased 2 of these mats (2 desks). The corner of one mat cracked either in opening it or during transport. I have been too busy with the move to return to Staples. I'll likely look for a more substantial replacement at that time.
