I continually used an expensive area rug Under my desk chair to help preserve the substandard carpet in my apartment. I bought the chair mat and now I don’t have To worry anymore. Just buy one and quit worrying!
It does what it's for. My only issue is that it's thin enough that putting a chair on it even with nobody in it the casters cause indentations in the mat.When you're sitting and this happens it makes it a little difficult to roll out of the dents you've made. After a while if you're not on the mat the dents kind of go away.because the mat is that pliable. I understand this is a low cost version of a chair mat and you get what you pay for. That all being said it is good enough and so now that I have one and I was in the market for a second I did buy a second one just so they would match since they're both in the same room. I might have paid more had I known about the denting and didn't notice any reviews that mentioned it.
