Good but should have purchased a mat for longer pile

Verified Purchase:Yes
I did not realize that the pile length would make much difference especially since I thought my carpet was not long or shaggy. Nevertheless I think the mat would work much better if the little tabs the points that stick down and help to support the mat were longer - in other words I should have bought a mat for a longer carpet pile length.
I've used this mat for about two weeks now. I have a low pile carpet but decided to step up to the medium based on my time at my desk. Well worth the upgrade but my chair has slid into a "default position" that is slightly left of where I actually want to sit from depressions in the mat. But it's cheap plastic and I can't complain Delivery experience was weird. I ordered the mat at 430pm and at 930am the next day I got a knock on my door and a ring of the doorbell. I sit close to my front door so I was able to see the delivery guy jump over my garden and sprint across my lawn back to his white panel van after throwing the unpackaged mat on my front porch. I shouted a thank you and he replied. Nice guy. Mat wasn't damaged at all in that interaction but it did have a hefty layer of dirt grime and footprints that I had to wipe off inside with some towels on my hands and knees since my hose is off for the winter. Since it wasn't packaged I didn't have to wait for it to uncurl.
I bought this chair mat for a Berber carpet. It does NOT work immediately there were indentations making it difficult to move chair back and forth. I think the old indoor-outdoor rubber-backed carpet is the suitable "carpet". It has studs so shouldn't be used on bare floors. Be sure to check your carpet depth before selecting a chair mat! I am ordering another mat and will have to figure out a use for this one.
Had this mat for a month now and edges still an inch off the floor. We followed the instructions as listed but you’ll still stun your toe on it if not watching out. Never had this issue with the old one.
