I was looking for a mat to protect my carpet. This one was the only one small enough to fit and I love it. I don't fight with my chair anymore either because it rolls much smoother on the mat than it did before.
You need to really consider your environment when deciding what thickness to order. I misjudged and picked the medium thickness thinking my carpet wasn't as padres as it apparently is. As a result the mat bends under the combine weight of me & my chair & I weigh about 200 pounds so it may cause the mat to fail early. So carefully consider your situation.
This economy mat does what it is intended to do. It grips the carpet and does not move when you move your chair. I use it daily as I run a home based business from my computer. This is my second mat. I read reviews before purchasing the first one. Several people said it only lasts about a year. I found this to be true. After about a year mine started cracking in spots where the chair wheels gave the mat the most traffic. But for the price I bought a second one. I think a year's use is worth the price.
