Does not move when you roll your chair.

I have a thick carpet and pad in my office and this pad was said to be build for this type of carpet. I weigh 200 plus pounds and I find it a bit difficult to move my chair around. I actually have another smaller mat on top of the mat I purchased. Doing this makes it possible to roll my chair without too much difficulty. If I did not have the second mat I belieive it would be very difficult to roll the chair at all. I would suggest that you might find a market for a much thicker rigid mat. This the type mat I had and it was very easy to roll the chair. The rigid mat I had was quite heavy and definitely could not be shipped via UPS etc. On the other hand there would not be a need to have two mats so that you can roll your chair easily on plush carpet/pad. As far as recommending it to a friend it is the thickest mat I found but still needs to be thicker and that is why I use two mats stacked together.
This is your basic floor mat. For the price I got it for (50%) off I can't complain too much. But for being a guy and spend a lot of time in my chair at home doing work it shouldn't have floor dimples in a matt. Could be a little thicker. This would be a good matt for a smaller person like a kid.
So far so good but I think I would have preferred a heavier duty product. The mats are solving my problem - I no longer get my chair stuck on the carpet and my carpet is free of the dents and abuse my chair caused. I hope the mats can stand up to the wear and tear over the years. I did know I was getting an economical mat - it fit the budget and was the right size for the job.
