they work and they don't crack

Needed these to protect our concrete floors which were getting destroyed by our chairs. Have been buying them in increments. The oldest ones are still going strong. And as a bonus the price is right in comparison to other sellers.
I'm only giving it one star because it hasn't cracked yet. It will not stay in place. It's so bad I've had to put my desk partly on top of it and it still wiggles out. Our carpet is not deep but the "cleats" will not grasp it at all. I actually miss the super sharp cones that used to be on chair mats.
I replaced an old carpet/chair mat with one of the newer technology ones. It fits perfectly under my desk and chair area. It works just as needed to glide my chair and protect my carpeting.
This is a replacement mat and while it is the correct size it bends too much under the weight of the chair leading to "dips" in the mat. It also tends to move from its position on the carpet. I think it is not as thick as the original. In any case it does not work as expected.
We have very low-pile carpets in the office. This mat tends to slide a little every day as the chair is moved back and forth so every week I move the chair and pull the mat back into place. I will order a larger size mat next time to fill the space better. Hoping this will solve the problem. Also this mat was not delivered in a box it just had a shipping label stuck onto the mat itself. Therefore the mat had some scuff marks on it...no big deal but if it had been boxed it probably would have arrived in better condition. The label came off very easily but it was an unusual way to recieve it. The chairmats used to come in a large box so that it would be flat on arrival. This one was a but curled on arrival-it did flatten out in a couple days.
