just what I wanted

This was perfect for my home office. It is thin enough to still show the carpet underneath - in fact unless you know it's there you don't notice it - yet durable to let my chair roll around on it. It suits my needs perfectly.
I am using this in my home office. I have it on a deeper carpet than the product recommends but it works ok. It doesn't slide and my chair rolls better on it than on the carpet. It's not the best rolling surface but I am on a tight budget and it was a great price. All of the other similar mats (or even smaller ones) were MUCH more expensive and I didn't see the need for paying so much more. This isn't the best thing since sliced bread but it works for me and my situation.
I bought this to replace the exact same item that I purchased four years ago so that show the longegivity of this mat. The price has increased by ten dollars over those four years though. And yes over time the plastic does what plastic does - yellows and cracks but the old one although cracked is still fully intact. I will be using it to protect surfaces when I do craft and painting projects. I do wish I knew how to recycle this large piece of plastic. Recycle centers don't want it and I don't want to send it to a landfill - but probably will eventually.
