After reading reviews for this mat I hesitated before buying. Then I found reviews of more expensive mats had the same poor reviews. I guess people are buying it for the wrong applications...this is for a low-pile carpet...not wood floors or heavy-pile carpets. I expect to get years of use from this product since I purchased it for the proper application So-far so-good.
I have two chairmats so I can get from one desk to the other. I like the fact that it protects my carpet from snags and wear. I would recommend everyone use one to save wear and tear on carpeting. I am very pleased with the mat and how it holds up.
Would be great for a solid type floor. Do not buy even if you have berber carpet!For [$] it's just as soft as my $25. one I bought last year. I tossed that one out because it was all cracked and bought this new one thinking at more than double the price it would be better...... My chair casters are already leaving little ruts in it! Needs to be more solid/Thicker!!!This is not Staple's fault just the Manufacturer's!
