OK but moves

This chair mat works well in protecting the carpet but every 2 days I have to re-position it. The mat tends to move 4" - 8" (primarily back away from the desk) after a couple of days of sitting in and moving the desk chair backwards in order to stand up. If that won't bother you it works very well.
depressions formed the first day I used this chair mat from the wheels on my chair. I'm not heavy so this mat isn't thick enough to withstand normal use in my opinion
I use a rolling walker and need a flat surface to use over the rug underneath my desk. I use this mat adjacent to one of Staples' desk mats to make a large smooth surface. Ir works geat.
I bought this for my home office. In the store it was my only option even though the display indicated there are several grades to choose from based on one's needs. It works fine not worth a return and continued shopping but it's not what I'd call heavy duty. I'm 130 lbs and there are indentions in it from me sitting in the chair a few hours a day. So far those indents have not obstructed it's ability to be useful.
The mat is unsuitable for medium pile carpeting. It's too soft and dimples from the wheels of the chair. The mat is so soft the chair became nearly impossible to move out of the dimples. The mat was returned. Definitely would not recommend this item.
This product was purchased on 12/21/2012 and started cracking at about the ninth month. It is coming apart and had to be replaced. The store will not replace it and the manufacture will not take my calls.
