Liked the mat but stickers would come off

The mats we bought were perfect but for some odd reason Staples put there shipping stickers directly on the mat which is annoying because they don't come off without ripping. Now its a huge eye sore for the map
This will be about the 6th time I have bought this type of mat from Staples in the last 7 0r 8 year4s. I only weigh about 185 lbs. yet the wheels of my Staples chair make a dent in the plastic. After a year or so the plastic cracks and the shards can be very dangerous especially if working without shoes. If it lasts less than a year I get a free one under warranty but usually it lasts 13-15 months and I need to pay for a new one. Unfortunately there's no alternative.
Appears to be a good quality mat; I have only used it for about a week. Hopefully it will last longer than the last one that was for medium pile carpet that lasted about two years before cracking. In any case this came with a lifetime memory which I guess means who dies first me or Staples.
After just a few days of use in my home my 5 desk chair wheels are leaving very visible imprints in the plastic mat (I weight well under 200 pounds). This time I specifically bought the thicker and more expensive mat hoping it would perform better and last longer; but I doubt it will last longer than the thin mat which only made it for a couple of years before cracking through.
