Lacks thickness but good price

Thickness is my concern since computer chair dents it so easily even though chair rolls okay on it. Recommendation would be for those seeking a budget mat.
I'm honestly appalled at the high cost of chair mats in general. That said this mat is honestly too thin for my use but I knew that to begin with and refused to spend more for a chair mat. It's a fine chair mat for what it is but used on a medium pile carpet like I have it's going to get noticeable dimples that make it a little hard to roll the chair. But since it's not meant for medium pile carpet I can't really hold that against the product. I can hold the general price of chair mats against the industry though. *shakes fist*
I chose one of the less expensive floor mats as a beginning point. This one would be fine on low pile carpet with very thin or no padding. I am not heavy and the chair wheels sink into the mat and into the padded carpeting. The good part is the mat is sturdy enough it has not cracked in the 2 1/2 months of ownership.
[...] Much too thin. So chair remains in "holes" under rollers and does not easily roll on surface. Die-cut is lopsided. i.e. the first spike row on underneath is skewed and does not go completely from left to right side.
