I'm honestly appalled at the high cost of chair mats in general. That said this mat is honestly too thin for my use but I knew that to begin with and refused to spend more for a chair mat. It's a fine chair mat for what it is but used on a medium pile carpet like I have it's going to get noticeable dimples that make it a little hard to roll the chair. But since it's not meant for medium pile carpet I can't really hold that against the product. I can hold the general price of chair mats against the industry though. *shakes fist*
We use this to protect the wood floors in our office. It's next to another desk with one from [...] and what a difference! This one is a MUCH better quality- Slides a tiny bit (but not as much as the other)- but looks better (our other already looks worn where the chair wheels are) and all the around is a better value.
This is a decent product for the price. I purchased to use primarily at home. After having a rolling chair and no mat I was determined not to ruin any more carpet. The only con I have is for the shape. Since I have a small desk at home the portion that fits underneath the desk is to short. There is about 11 to 12 inches deep of unprotected carpet. The remainder of the area is just perfect. Great buy!
