This carpet chair mat was recommended by an in-store associate as being ideal for my particular low pile carpet. Within a few days my rolling chair wheels created four distinct depressions in the vinyl that have worsened over time. Thankfully these four depression’s are in the position when I am sitting at my desk with the chair rolled up to the desk. The associate promised me this very issue with not develop with such a high-quality mat. Thankfully these four depression’s are in the position when I am sitting at my desk with the chair rolled up to the desk. For the price and aggravation of having swapped my previous mat—-which did exactly the same thing—and this new mat I’m disappointed.
I usually need to replace chair mats every 2 years because even the heavy duty carpet mats tend to crack and break. This mat is softer (takes a bit of getting used to) and because it gives a little probably won't crack. Also easier to handle since it's pliable.. Very good value.

We purchased this item about a year ago. Cut it in half and are using half under our computer desk and the other half under my wifes painting table. Nice thick mat and should last ten times longer than the thinnner mats.

I've had a few mats and some lasted quite a while the last one I had only lasted a couple years. I'm not a heavy person so I never expect the mat to crack but the last one that I got at [@] cracked really bad. I especially like the edges on this mat. I have birds and usually the seed and feathers gather along the edges of the mat. This one stays down and nothing gets under it. I saw some complaints about dimpling but after using this for a week there has been no dimpling. I have a frequent visitor who comes and stays a few days every couple months. He weighs well over 330 pounds. He doesn't sit at my desk much but he does a little so that will be the test. If it makes it through his visit I'll be happy. If not I'll come back and let you all know.
