My carpet is 1/2 inch thick on about 1/2 inch pad. I weigh 150 lbs but my chair wheels sink deeply into the chair mat after only a few minutes making it difficult to move. Average weight chair sinks unoccupied. This product is not suitable for intended use and is mis-represented in its advertising for use on plush carpet.
I'm 240lbs and the chair wheels dent the mat making it hard to move after setting for just a few mins. Time will tell how long it can do this without cracking???
I bought this mat for an office with hardwood floors. The mat was less expensive than upgrading the casters on the desk chair. However the mat slides on the hardwood floor and is constantly shifting positions. I will return it and buy new casters instead.
Protects carpet. This mat replaces a cheaper mat which was not thick enough and failed. This mat is thicker and rolls better. It must last 10 years for me to feel really great about it.
