This chair mat was strong yet pliable. The mat grips the rug very securely and allows my office chair to move over it very easily without sinking into the plastic mat. Great purchase.
Brought the chair pad home. Seemed OK but then I realized that not having a beveled edge is really important. If chair travels beyond the pad wheels can not negotiate the straight lip in order to get back onto pad. Have to lift the wheels over. Quite a pain in the neck. Also wheels make a fairly deep depression in the pad and chair does not roll easily. Should have purchased a better quality pad however store display only had strait edges in all price ranges. Will keep this one for a while but definitely will have to upgrade sometime in the future.
