Does not move when you roll your chair.

I have a thick carpet and pad in my office and this pad was said to be build for this type of carpet. I weigh 200 plus pounds and I find it a bit difficult to move my chair around. I actually have another smaller mat on top of the mat I purchased. Doing this makes it possible to roll my chair without too much difficulty. If I did not have the second mat I belieive it would be very difficult to roll the chair at all. I would suggest that you might find a market for a much thicker rigid mat. This the type mat I had and it was very easy to roll the chair. The rigid mat I had was quite heavy and definitely could not be shipped via UPS etc. On the other hand there would not be a need to have two mats so that you can roll your chair easily on plush carpet/pad. As far as recommending it to a friend it is the thickest mat I found but still needs to be thicker and that is why I use two mats stacked together.
I selected this mat because it felt like a quality product. It is a nice thickness and my chair glided over it well. However... it does not stay in place. I use it on carpet and I find it creeping closer to the desk every day. I am constantly moving it back into place.
We bought others like this for our offices so we went back and got another for our home. It is in a room with very different carpet and it still works very well.
