This is a good floor mat. My old one (also from Staples 10 or so years ago) finally fell apart and I have the same hopes that this one will last for a long time.
This was exactly what I needed to replace one that was completely falling apart. My chair moves very well on it and I would recommend it for anyone who is looking.
The mat doesn't work well at all. I have a low pile commercial carpet and the plastic is so thin that the wheels have formed a rut in the mat. SO I doesn't allow me to move the chair around.
the product is supposed to remain in place on a plush carpet. it does not! i paid almost twice as much for this expecting that the little "grippers" on the bottom of the mat would be longer than the non-plush version. that is not the case so i am still constantly putting it back in place. not worth the money.
This mat was to replace an older similar mat that had cracked with age. The new mat does not lie flat it wants to "walk" (move) on the carpet with every roll of the desk chair. The current carpet (rug) is thicker than the previous one so that may be part of the problem.
