Heavy and solid enough for regular daily use. I'm 6'0" and 225 lbs and this mat does the job for me in the home office even for extended use (8+ hrs). The expected indentations appear during long use but I've never gotten stuck in them and find it easy to move freely. Sits well on plush carpet and rolling in an executive chair is pretty smooth. Price was fair for this level of quality.

Chair Mat
on August 12, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
We purchased this mat after buying and returning one to a competitor which didn't fulfill our needs. This one is slightly better and will hopefully hold up over time. The delivery was a day later than promised (no big deal it could have been the freight company (FED EX) and doesn't affect the quality. The mat was rolled up and we laid it out on our living room floor for 2 & 1/2 days trying to get the mat to lay flat. We finally laid it out on our carpet in our sewing room under the sewing cabinet and after rolling the chair over it for a few days it has finally returned to laying flat. Our biggest concern is that the chair (with casters) and the sewing cabinet (also with casters) will eventually indent grooves in the mat. Only time will tell but so far so good. We've only had it less than to months.
The product is what I needed rated #4 star. The delivery was not great rated #1 star.

Too Early to Really Tell for Sure

I purchased this mat for use on Berber carpet. I guess long gone are the days when one could buy a nice thick virtually indestructible chair mat for $50 or so and the last mat I had in that price range cracked up after only a few years under a 120 lb. user.Its size in nice and it obviously won't slide. My chair rolls fairly easily on the mat. Soon after receiving the mat though I realized that my chair casters had already made indentations. So I went looking some more and found chair casters that are slightly softer and wider than hard plastic casters on the recommendation of a Staples CSR who recommended these casters as a solution to prevent mat cracking. So I shelled out about another [$]for these new casters for a total of almost $160 for a mat and casters combined tax included. I hope to return later and revise this review after seeing how this mat performs with these casters which I hope will be more than adequate given the amount of money I've spent. The indentations that my old casters made may be permanent however even though I used the hard casters for only a very short period of time on the new mat.
