Nice size but too thin.

As it is thin chair wheels sink in at take a "set " which can make it initially hard to roll the chair. I suspect this will lead to it breaking down (they all do) faster needing earlier replacement. It is a nice size. The thicker (and more expensive) ones were much bigger.
Came rolled up so I could not use it for a couple of days. After that it worked fine however. I would recommend not using this on a hard wood floor though as it would scratch it. It is great for my carpeted floors though.
This product is literally saving my wood floors from damage by my desk chair. The chair rolls easilly over it's surface and the mat feels good under foot. The size accommodates the rolling area of the chair perfectly. The only thing that I would wish to change about the product would be if it was clear rather than somewhat opaque. I would like to see through to my wood floor beneath. But I do not know if such a mat can be made and still retain the positive features mentioned above if it was clear and not opaque.
I use this mat over a vinyl floor. It needs to be much thicker to provide a smooth rolling surface. I have a chair with 5 casters on it and they create divots on the mat. I weigh 200 pounds; so that distibuted over 5 casters should not create divots in a supposedly solid pad.
Provides smooth surfase for rolling chairs at desk protects carpet from constant movement of chair. A bit too thin for standard home carpeted areas chair rollers seem to dig into the mat but not through.
