This is the third or fourth time I've had to replace this rug protector They never last long but Staples is good enough to replace it every 6-9 months. It breaks up and becomes dangerous to your feet with pieces sticking up.
This product has worked well for me so far. The only thing that was unusual was that the mat was not boxed for delivery (it just had a sticker with the shipping info) but in the end it still arrived in new condition.
