We needed to replace a chair mat that is being used on a low-pile carpet in our home office. This chair mat has the "carpet teeth" on the underneath side to secure it to the carpet so it does not move when the desk chair glides over the mat. It was originally reasonably priced but when I went on-line to make the purchase for pick up at a local store there was a coupon offer for a 20% discount! Since it was not a shipable item it was ready for pick up at a local store within just a few hours of ordering.
Great price on this chair mat but it is too thin and did not hold up to normal use in a home setting. Cracked in several places now and will be replaced soon with a heavier version.
With an office chair of normal weight and a fairly low-pile carpet this mat does not work for me. The chair casters sink into temporary indentations anytime the chair stays in one place for awhile making it very difficult to move the chair out of these "ruts" for lack of a better term. I doubt I will tolerate trying to use it for very long.
Very pleased with the quality of material it is made of. It very sturdy and is easy to roll our chair around on it without incident. It stays put on the carpet and does not shift around when bumped with the sweeper. It is the perfect size that fits under our desk. We would recommend it to anyone.
I ordered one of these to try it out and loved it so I ordered 4 more for the office! You don't need to buy the more expensive ones on the market these work out perfectly and they last a long time! The durability is definitely there!
