This chair mat is probably best for medium-pile carpets. I had the same one before but in black. I think I have high pile carpet with a think carpet pad underneath. That mat eventually created divots and cracked the mat. Make sure you know your carpet mat height and any add'l carpet pad. Otherwise it was smooth for my chair to roll on. Good price as well.
The Staples carpet low pile chair mat is excellent in facilitating my desk chair movements from my computer to printer. My chair rolls unobstructed from my desk to printer and desktop computer.
It arrived curled from the heat in the truck. When we finally got it flattened it worked well enough. It is pretty thin and more flexible than I would like. But, It works so far! The price was nice too. Much cheaper than others.
Might be OK with low pile or bare floor, but NOT with Med pile carpet. Not hard/stiff enough. chair wheels sink into mat.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I liked this mat but after just 4 months, it's cracking in several areas. It also has a lot of chair memory dents which can be frustrating, but not the worst issue to deal with.
