Great Mat for the Price

Slid on carpeted floor during first few days but has stayed in place since. Makes more sense to buy this and replace a little sooner than the expensive mats. Kept my last mat for 10 years; plan to do the same with this one!
Advertized for high pile carpet but totally unsuitable for my home office that has 1/2" pile carpet plus underpad. The chair wheels create craters in the mat that the chair persists in rolling back into when you try to move the chair a small distance. I purchased another pad from another store that is much heavier but still craters under the wheels but to a lesser degree. I use a standard 5 wheel office chair and I weigh in at 170 lbs.
Mat works as expected and is fairly priced. Purchased to replace basically the same product that I purchased from Staples a few years ago. The old one developed some cracks over time. This one feels like the same quality so I expect it will last a few years also.
I thought it would be thicker and not as pliable when chairs roll over the surface...it appears to be too flexible and over time it will crack at points of continued use (rolling a chair on top of it for approx. 8 hrs. per day)
