Perhaps this was too much economy

This is for the chair at my computer and replaced a similar mat which had given many years of service. I think the mat is a little too soft although my carpet is not high pile so that the chair does not slide as smoothly as did the prior mat.
I would spend more to find something that holds up better. It is used solely to protect the carpet underneath. It usually breaks into pieces after one year or so.
I had a carpeted area in front of my desk and I was ruining the rug by rolling over the edge of the persian rug. The mat immediately solved the problem. The area under my desk is wood and the mat had no problem transitioning from the rug to the wood. It looks and feels robust and I am confident that I will get several years of use out of the mat. Your catalog should give the thickness of the mat and the lengths of the pegs that grip the rug (I would estimate the grip peg lengths as 1/8" and the thickness as 3/32")
I use this on carpet the ones I've had in the past have always cracked on me after a few months. This one seems more "soft" and I don't see this happening so I'm happy with it. I may also add that it was the least expensive one they had. Go figure.
