So far So good

I've had a few mats and some lasted quite a while the last one I had only lasted a couple years. I'm not a heavy person so I never expect the mat to crack but the last one that I got at [@] cracked really bad. I especially like the edges on this mat. I have birds and usually the seed and feathers gather along the edges of the mat. This one stays down and nothing gets under it. I saw some complaints about dimpling but after using this for a week there has been no dimpling. I have a frequent visitor who comes and stays a few days every couple months. He weighs well over 330 pounds. He doesn't sit at my desk much but he does a little so that will be the test. If it makes it through his visit I'll be happy. If not I'll come back and let you all know.
Staple's previous versions had sharp platic cleats which cut into your fingers and the carpet. This version has a better design with plastic pegs that do not stab you when installing. They now also use a plastic band to package it in a roll unlike previous wide tape which left glue all over the mat. Previous versions only lasted about a year before cracking and then stabbing your feet with shards if you take off your shoes. This version only has a one year guarantee as well but it was half price on sale.
I've had this mat for about a month and so far it has been really good. I love the fact that it is clear and blends in well with my carpet. My chair slides very easily over the mat too. I would not pay anymore for a chairmat as they all only last a maximum of 3 years.
