I have old carpet throughout the entire house which I will be replacing with hardwood soon. But for now I needed to be able to roll my desk chair up to my desk in my little office. This mat was inexpensive and works well for my need.
As others noted the mat is not very thick. Its better than no mat but if I wanted it to last for years I would ahead & spend more. We are changing flooring in 9 months so I will invest in different mat then.
Now that I'm forced to work from home I had to set up my own office space so this carpet protector was a definite must have. Yes I would recommend this if you need something for a small space this fills the bill!
