had new carpeting installed....installer told me to get the plastic pad because it would help with less wear and tear on carpet. With the pad the chair does not roll easily. The pad itself keeps moving...which forces me to keep moving it.
The only reason for returning the matt was because it walked on my carpet. Although the carpet is not that plush it is dense and possibly has a high nylon content. I'm told that is why sometimes matts walk and sometimes they don't.
It fit perfect under the desk and will keep carpet protected also wheel on last chair probably broke from not having the chair mat. On sale good price!
I've had this chair mat a few weeks and so far it is great. I can't speak to the longevity of it but it seems to be strong and well-made it provides good support for my chair over fairly thick shaggy carpet and it doesn't smell like petroleum. I hope it lasts a long time without cracking like my last one did.
My computer desk chair with 5 wide rollers started to sink into the mat with only a few days of use. I can see this failing in a mater of months. The mat material used is not suited to this type of use. By the way I am not overweight.
