Got what I paid for...

I liked the size of the mat as most of the others available are too large but the quality was poor. There are already indentations from my office chairs's wheels and I've only owned the mat for a week.
Once down and in position it works well at just lying there. Unrolling that prickly monster without inpaling your fingers is impossible. You must fetch the Blackberry pruning gloves and then have a go. GOOD LUCK
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.
