This product is too soft and does not work well on normal carpet. The edges stick up so if a wheel rolls off the matt making it difficult to get the wheel back on. The matt has indentations from where the chair normally sits which also makes moving the chair difficutlt. The description above sounds like it would be a good use of the product definitely not good for traditional in home carpets.
This is about the 3rd (4th?) chair mat purchasedfrom Staples---with a five year warranty. They each lasted about a year and a half. I had trouble contacting Staples---finally gota $25. credit coupon. I kept buying thembecause I needed the mat and I had no time toseek elsewhere. The mat works well--but doesnot last out the warranty.
