Perfect for my needs

we bought four of these mats. Two for his room and 2 for my room. we each have 2 rolling office chairs in our room. it slides just a litte no biggie thought. I can still see our beautiful new floors thru the clear chair mats. the vaccum and swiffer glide right over the chair mat and clean it. this product was perfect for our needs
I am using this in my office over carpet. The product is too light weight and pliable. Consequently the chair rollers form indentations in the mat making it difficult to move the chair.
The mat is thinner than I expected. One side seems a bit smoother than the other but hard to notice. No directions to indicate which side to place down. Product did not flatten and become pliable like the paperwork said it would. This survey comes way too early as I just purchased it. How would I have knowledge about if it yellows how it cleans etc.?
Provides an easy base for my rolling chair; as I work on the computer. Much thicker and more effective than my last rug protector and computer chair rug.
I have a rug on a laminate floor and this mat has to bridge both - so not really ideal. However I've had to attach to the hardwood floor with 2 sided tape to stop moving and the chair casters make quite big dents in mat (over the rug). The dents do straighten out somewhat when the chair is pushed under the desk (over the laminate) at night. Time will tell how long it might last. Probably works fine if used just on a hardwood floor.
I purchased this particular mat because it seemed to me that it was a good deal and the others were a bit on the expensive side. Well I learned my lesson! It hasn't even been a year and this one is literally falling apart and looks worse than the one it replaced (which was here in the office long before I was).
