Seems good

Two years ago I bought a Staples low pile mat for my home use. It began to come apart this spring so I replaced it with this medium pile model primarily because it is thicker and will hopefully last longer. It seems to be a heaver duty productand has performed well so far. I guess time will tell how durable it will be. So far so good.
I have berber carpet on a pad in my home office and this is the product specifically identified for the total thickness of my carpet /pad combo. It does not slide nor has it done any damage to my carpet after 4 months of use however it is so rubbery and soft that the hard castors of my desk chair depress the pad over 3/8" and my chair is essentially "stuck" and I have to forcibly roll it out of the depressions. I am very disappointed especially for the money I spent - I really should have returned it but thought perhaps I was just in a bad mood when I first judged it but now months later I should have trusted my gut - by the way I am very happy right now but still hate this product.
Durable and stronger than I expected. This is used on top of carper but under a small table used by infants. This prevents the carpets from being stained and allows for easier clean up of the floor. It's a little pricey but worth it.
This mat is the perfect size for my needs allowing sufficient space around the chair to move around. The lip fits well under the desk. The surface provides for smoother moving but is not slippery. It is barely noticeable on the hardwood.
