Because my carpeting is thicker than recommended for mat's thickness the ends tend to come up. With use on low-pile commercial grade carpeting I believe this mat would be adequate. Chair still rolls well and mat is easy to clean.
Just as advertised. The size was just right for our small office. Did not experience the curling problem another reviewer had. Only con so far is the label on the mat did not come off easily - leaving a sticky residue behind. The mat looks like cracked glass and while it does allow the floor to show through rather well don't expect it to be crystal clear.
This is the second matt that I have purchased. I use it on a plush carpet and over time it breaks up. It does seem to discolor over time. I can't remember how long I have had the one I have now. It does make it possible to roll my chair on the carpet and saves the carpet from the chair.
