DOES NOT HAVE TO QUALITY I EXPECTED

THIS MAT IS USED AT OUR HOME COMPUTER DESK. NEW CARPET WAS INSTALLED IN NOVEMBER SO WE NEEDED A MAT TO PROTECT THE CARPET. I GUESS IN A SENSE IT PROTECTS THE CARPET BUT THERE ARE IN DENTATIONS FROM THE CHAIR IN THE MAT AND IT MAKES IT HARD FOR THE CHAIR TO ROLL ON THE MAT.
While this seems to be a reasonably good quality mat it is not nearly that good in use. The mat is advertised as a "Berber Mat". Berber is a stiff somewhat coarse loop carpet . This mat has NO GRIPPERS on the underside? I was concerned about that from the minute I saw it but decided to try it anyway. It took me less than 1 day to decide to return it because it was constantly moving around on the carpet and had twice moved so far that it was bent up against the desk. I packed the mat up and took it to my Local Staples to return it. Like usual they gave me the run-around but eventually took it back. I'll never again buy something like this by mail. Who evaluates these things?
i recently bought a new house with all new carpet and was concerned that my swivel chair wheels would mess up the carpet or leave dents in it. my previous home had a big circle in the carpet under the chair so i didn't want that to happen. i ended up purchasing this and it seems to be working just fine.
