Mat too soft

The mat is slightly better than chair rolling on the carpet. The chair sinks so low it takes effort to get wheels out of the sunken areas. I purposely spent more on this mat for what I thought would be great quality.
The chair mat needs to be made of a hard stronger thicker material....I was disappointed that permanent indentions were left in. the mat wherever the chair was placed....and personally I wish the size had been 40 X 48 Lip.
I picked up the chair mat at a Staples store and it was not stored well. The mat was bent in addition to being rolled up. The sales person said to put it in the sun to flatten it but that was not an option because it is winter. The label said it would be more pliable after 24-48 hours which wasn't what happened. I used different objects to get it flat. After a week there still are some edges with curves to them--not much but enough to raise hem off the carpet. This might be a little dangerous for people walking by. The mat itself is very nice and if the edges lose their curve over time I will be very happy with the it. It's ok for now.
A flexible chart mat good quality but the cleats seem too short for a 3/8" pile carpet. Probably great on Berber or loop. It takes some effort to move my chair out of the wheel indentations. But they don't remain after moving the chair so better than most low-priced carpet chair mats.
Received this mat a couple weeks ago and am very pleased. Very stable on my 3/4" high pile carpet and seems to be quite substantial. Will see how it holds up after more use.
