Unfortunately I didn't fully understand the limitation of this chair mat as well as I should have. Once home I saw on the label "not recommended for deep pile carpets" and "protects carpet up to 1/8 inch". I didn't consider my carpet "deep Pile" but apparently it is and it certainly is deeper than 1/8 inch. Consequently the mat is so soft my chair leaves deep dents in it and I expect it will fail after a short time. I bought this to replace a chair mat previously purchased from Staples and that one was much thicker ( I now realize). That mat was not affected by the chair rollers and did not indent from them. It lasted several years on the same carpet and was of a much tougher material. A lesson learned the hard way.
Unsatisfactory vinyl plastic chair mat for flat pile carpet.

Sorry but this chair mat is unsatisfactory in-as-much as all 5 of my desk chair wheels sink down into the chair mat making it very difficult to move my chair from one spot to another.
It's very clear. Dimples a little slides a lot if you move around often and has to be re-positioned on a low nap area rug. Will use some double sided carpet tape to secure. It's nice that the AnchorBar cleats don't poke you but don't really keep mat from sliding.
