Yes you can buy a cheaper chair mat but they are not as thick and flexible as this model. I'm using the mat over low-pile commercial carpeting--it has some give but my chair moves nicely over the mat's surface. I had the mat shipped to my home via UPS and it arrived in excellent shape!

The mat itself is fine. However the product label that you stick to the mat does not come off. So now I am have a messy partial label on the mat. They should have used a glue that can easily be removed by the consumer.
I used this for a couple years and it started to fall apart. Can't find my receipt. Staples gave me a discount on another so I bought it. I expect this will not last so I am saving my receipt this time.
