Best chairmat I've owned

much better than the smaller thinner "economy" mat I origianlly bought. The cheaper mat became brittle discolored and started breaking/shattering in the center where the chair sits most. This new mat is much thicker and more flexible.
Bought two less than a year ago for use on thick pile carpet. They both began to wear out within six months and now both have a huge hole in the center. Now I need to replace them. Would not recommend these for use on thick pile carpet.
I have bought and replaced a number of these mats. You would think that a good one could be made. These mats are lousy... good for only a few months if that!
This product is listed as a "Berbermat" it is not nearly thick enough for berber carpeting. Perhaps commercial grade flat carpet but nothing with any depth and definitely not for carpets that have padding underneath. I am an average to slim person and the wheels from my chair made indents in the mat within the first hour of use. Trying to roll your chair out of the indents is like trying to jump a curb with your car you can do it but it it takes a bit of force. Standing on the mat for even a few seconds in bare feet which actually feels kind of good you can see and feel it indenting. All in all the mat will probably save some wear on your carpet but the accompanying aggrevation is probably not worth it.
