Does the job

I find I have to replace my chair mat about every 3-4 years as the new ones just don't hold up like the older thicker/stiffer ones they use to make. Still it does the job.
The Mat serves the basic minimum requirements to provide smooth movement of the office chair and protect that carpeted area of the office. However it seems that this latest model uses thinner plastic than the previously worn out one which have been used for seven years. And the "teeth" which are supposed to grip on the carpet do not perform satisfactorily thus allowing the mat to slide slightly in various directions and curl up at its border edges. Consequently this results in stubbing one's toes and potential tripping of the user when treading in and out of the protection area. Make it stiffer like the old one!
