Terribly disappointing

I had bought three of these mats. They say that they are for carpets 3/4" thick including pad. I measured by sticking a paper clip into the carpet. I came to just 3/4". These mats are so thin my chair sinks into the mat and makes it difficult to roll across. When I do try to roll the mat will shift and pucker when it bumps into a file cabinet. I have to straighten them out a couple of times a day. I would have returned them but I am 72 years old and it was a major task getting them into my office in the first place.
The mat will prevent dirt from shoes from getting on your floor. The legs of the chair will indent the mat. However it is a small problem. This mat is sufficient for my computer room.
This said it would be at my home the next day - with free shipping - and it was! That's pretty surprising considering that I live in the extreme boonies... This is perfect to protect the hardwood floors in my home office. It's a nice size too.
The add was misleading. First it was not thick enough for high pile carpet.My chair made dents right away that where hard to get out of after just 1 hour. Second the points on the bottom are not long enough. I have to preposition it at least 3 times a day. This mat at best for low profile carpet.
