I work from my home office and had a hard time finding a mat that worked with thick plush carpet for my desk and chair. This works great and is worth paying a little extra. Only time will tell how long it will hold up without cracking.
We bought two of these for the office and my boss' cracked within a month of purchasing it. It's now in the trash and mine has holes in it. It slides everywhere. On a weekly basis I have to reposition it. We only had these for about 5 months total. [$] get one with cleets and heavy-duty.
