The size price and look of this mat is great. The only problem is that it doesn't hold up long enough. It gets big cracks after a short time and I am on my third one in 5 years.
I have thicker carpet and for the price of the mat I could not go wrong but it does seem to slide and because of the way my desk is 2 pieces I am constantly having to reposition the mat. My husband however has a one piece desk and is perfectly content with the same mat.
This was my first mat for home use. It came rolled up but that wasn't a problem. In several moments it was straight. The only small issue I have is that it moves on the floor. Otherwise for the money it's great!!
