I ordered this mat because it said it was for high pile carpet which I have in my at-home office. I weigh 195 lbs and my chair has 6 casters on it. Within an hour of sitting in my chair the mat already had big indentations from the chair casters. Doesn't seem like this mat is going to work. Maybe for lighter people it would but it's not going to work in my case.
Not sure what makes this "high pile". Ordered some standard mats for a co-worker and the thickness of this mat and theirs was the same as well as the depth of the "teeth". This one indents a lot under the chair casters so I am expecting cracks when the material gets brittle. On the plus side the top surface is smooth and the edges are finished nicely and not sharp.
The pad gets significant depressions from the wheels on my desk chair. It will take some time to see if they lead to cracking and deteriorization of the chair mat.
I have medium pile carpet but this mat is not holding up to it very well -- every time I sit in my office chair the mat gets deep dents in it which don't come out completely after I've moved the chair. I've had other Staples chair mats that have dented but I thought I would be buying a mat that was sturdier. The mats I've had in the past even with the dents have lasted fairly well so I'm not sending this one back but it's not really what I expected.
