This product cracked up within a year!!

We purchased 5 of these matts for the office area and they are ALL severely cracking within one year! I would never suggest these matts for anyone's use!
It did not hold up to 40-50 hour work weeks. Next time I will order a thicker one even if it's more expensive. In the long-run I will save money. This one in less than 3 months ended up cracking where my chair rollers usually sit. And yes I need to loose about 30 lbs. BUT I've bought other thicker ones that last for over a year.
Product is advertised for carpet up to 1 inch thick (incl pad). My carpet is about 3/4 inch and the mat sinks into the carpet makeing it hard to roll my chair. It should be thicker/harder.
Bought this for home office with very low-pile commercial grade carpeting. Even with that the mat is so thin that the wheels of the office chair (five of them) dent right into the surface so that moving the chair is not easy. With all that denting I don't expect it will last long. Now I know why other brands are so much more expensive.
My old mat was getting cracks so I thought it was time for a new one. It works great. I got a little bigger one to cover more carpet.As of right now it is holding up great.
