It is good for being over carpet but when I sit in my chair it sinks into the plastic leaving prints. I only am 190 lbs. a male. So. It’s not smooth. Those marks stay there. It’s like to memory foam like. Lol

Good size never slipped however cracked after 5 months of daily M-F use. very disappointed.
First of all it does what it's supposed to do. However dimples appear in the plastic by just leaving the chair on the mat--without even sitting on the chair (standard lightweight office chair with rollers). If you sit in one place for 20 or so minutes the dimples are bigger and require a little effort to roll out of them. The good news is that it probably won't ever crack. If you get it shipped to you it comes rolled up. I would recommend using a hair dryer to heat it as you unroll the product. That's what I did since it was a cold day when it sat on our porch for several hours. Took about a week before it laid flat on the carpet. Seemed very expensive but it does the job and is just large enough. If you want to be able to roll your chair on carpet then this is the product. If you have carpet up to an inch thick including the pad I would recommend.
It was exactly the right size. I have always purchased the chair mats with the cut-out section for the chair opening of the desk This time I bought the solid 36 x 48 rectangular mat and it works so much better. No slipping and moving...and my chair rolls easily over the mat. I have thick carpet under my desk and this mat stays put. Also I ordered late one evening and it was delivered on the second day after ordering. Very speedy delivery. Thanks!
