Great Product for Price

This is a decent product for the price. I purchased to use primarily at home. After having a rolling chair and no mat I was determined not to ruin any more carpet. The only con I have is for the shape. Since I have a small desk at home the portion that fits underneath the desk is to short. There is about 11 to 12 inches deep of unprotected carpet. The remainder of the area is just perfect. Great buy!
I'm honestly appalled at the high cost of chair mats in general. That said this mat is honestly too thin for my use but I knew that to begin with and refused to spend more for a chair mat. It's a fine chair mat for what it is but used on a medium pile carpet like I have it's going to get noticeable dimples that make it a little hard to roll the chair. But since it's not meant for medium pile carpet I can't really hold that against the product. I can hold the general price of chair mats against the industry though. *shakes fist*
Works ok. If you sit in one place for a long period of time the wheels on the chair sort of sink in making it a little difficult to move. At least it isn't cracking like the one I had to replace.
I chose one of the less expensive floor mats as a beginning point. This one would be fine on low pile carpet with very thin or no padding. I am not heavy and the chair wheels sink into the mat and into the padded carpeting. The good part is the mat is sturdy enough it has not cracked in the 2 1/2 months of ownership.
