This will be about the 6th time I have bought this type of mat from Staples in the last 7 0r 8 year4s. I only weigh about 185 lbs. yet the wheels of my Staples chair make a dent in the plastic. After a year or so the plastic cracks and the shards can be very dangerous especially if working without shoes. If it lasts less than a year I get a free one under warranty but usually it lasts 13-15 months and I need to pay for a new one. Unfortunately there's no alternative.
Appears to be a good quality mat; I have only used it for about a week. Hopefully it will last longer than the last one that was for medium pile carpet that lasted about two years before cracking. In any case this came with a lifetime memory which I guess means who dies first me or Staples.
After just a few days of use in my home my 5 desk chair wheels are leaving very visible imprints in the plastic mat (I weight well under 200 pounds). This time I specifically bought the thicker and more expensive mat hoping it would perform better and last longer; but I doubt it will last longer than the thin mat which only made it for a couple of years before cracking through.
