all mats crack in less than a year

I've bought 3 different mats from Staples in less than 3 years. They all crack and don't last long even the thicker more expensive ones so now I just buy the cheapest one because I know it will have to be replaced.
Earlier products cracked easily after very short periods. This is the first advertised for thicker Berber type carpeting and so far seems to be the answer. It is soft and wheels leave quick impressions but they disappear shortly after chair is moved away to a different position.
[...] It slides quickly until it runs up agains the desk leg then pushes up the side of the desk. I have to reposition this mat several times each day.
Had to return it because the store does not keep it flat but rolls it up and puts tape around it to hold it. The tape leaves a thick glue deposit which is impossible to easily remove. This did not happen in the past when they stored them flat. To add to what I wrote above after several months the plastic breaks down into little very sharp pieces and the mat needs to be replaced.
If it wasn't such a PIA to take it up again now that it's arranged (small office furniture on edges)i'd send it back - dents in it same morning i put it down. the company label came off easily[...]. VERY DISAPPOINTED
