I put this mat on a short pile carpet and put my office chair on it. The chair immediately sunk into the plastic mat. I only weigh 152 pounds and the chair has 5 wheels on it. The indentations were noticeable and did not go away.
So far so good stays in place and my chair rolls nicely over it. When you purchase a mat make sure it is for the right thickness (pile) carpet or floor to enure it will work correctly!
