Verified Purchase:Yes
My disappointment in the mat was in the way it was packaged when delivered. In the store the mat size I required was not available so I ordered it in store. The mats that I observed in the store had a protective plastic sheeting around it. The one I received DID NOT have that protective sheet and as a result the mat was filthy and scratched. I feel it was a return from a previous buyer. I did not return it because for $35.00 dollars it wasn’t worth the hassle. The mat itself is fine for the purpose and the space I needed it for.

Carpet protector / chair mat

This is a three foot by four foot chair mat (aka - carpet protector). It goes between the chair and the carpet. It protects the carpet from the marks the chair could make if the chair mat was not there and it allows the chair to roll easily across the carpet (my chair has wheels under the legs). The chair mat just kind of lays there and doesn't make any noise. Nonetheless it does do its job well. It would be nice if our elected officials could emulate the chair mat and do their job well without making much noise.
When you put 5 wheels with 200lbs of weight on plastic you’re going to see impressions. All of the negative reviews on this made me concerned but I noticed most mats had similar complaints so I just went with the cheapest. Yes this mat shows impressions after sitting in your chair but they aren’t permanent. It’s similar to a hand impression in memory foam it eventually goes away. I have medium-height carpet (not thin pile but not thick) and this mat has been working fine. I wish I would have purchased a mat that was a little deeper and wider. My wheels seem to roll off the sides quite a bit. That’s my only complaint. Otherwise the price and quality seem right.
So far it is serving its purpose. The vinyl seems pretty soft as the wheels leave impressions in it hope it lasts. Also the spikes on the underside don't prevent movement as well as the one I had previous.
