Protects the carpet

The mat is too flexible. The chair wheels sink down into it and then it is hard to make them roll out of these indentations. The main reason I wanted this mat was so it would be easier to roll the chair around but it didn't.

Functional and flexible

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.
Works as a chair mat should on a carpet. One can slide around on wheeled desk chairs and easily slide the chair in and out when putting the chair away. My "but" is that it is quite thin and your chair will cause valleys for the wheels to get stuck in. Then you have to heave a bit to move the chair to another spot. It's a minor inconvenience and the divots go away after a while and the mat returns to normal however I'm only 135 pounds and if I leave temporary dents I can only imagine what a 180-200 lb six-footer would experience. While I'm satisfied overall with this and it's not an issue that matters at all if you're sitting still I would buy Staples' thicker version next time. Otherwise quite pleased with this.
