The mat seems to do what is supposed to do. I do see some dimples the chair has made on this mat not sure what the longevity of it will be time will tell
The carpet mat is great and makes rolling a lot easier. It also helps the wheels roll and not get stuck. I was told the carpet mat keeps the wheels from getting stuck on the carpet and keeps the wheels from breaking. I am very happy that the chair rolls the wheels don't break and the carpet is protected.
I bought this mat to fit under my desk which is in a fairly small space. I was worried that I'd have trouble making the mat fit but this one fit perfectly. My chair had no problem rolling gently across the mat unlike how it didn't roll across the carpet that is now under the mat. I also like that the mat is clear and doesn't detract from my wonderful carpet. The other nice thing about this mat is that I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for it. It was nicely priced in my budget. I would recommend this mat to anyone looking for one especially in a restrictive space.
This little mat worked great for our little office. We had a little bit of tile that was sticking up to create a lip which made it difficult for our receptionist to move her chair around. This mat has made it easier for her to move without getting stuck or tripping. It hugs the floor well and hardly ever moves. It is lightweight and durable.
I don't know maybe I am spending too much time at my desk. This is fourth or fifth one of these mats that I've purchased and their "lifespan" seems to be getting shorter and shorter. Their quality appears decent but the reality is that these mats start cracking and breaking quickly. I'm not an overweight person and my chair has five wheels so the weight is distributed well but I have to replace these mats anywhere from every four to six months. It works out cheaper than buying the more expensive presumably more durable mat but do your own cost value analysis.
The mat is not very high in quality. When I roll my chair it actually makes a buckle in the plastic. The size is great and I did not buy the cheapest one because I was afraid of the quality.
