I have low pile carpet with plans to switch to medium pile carpet in the near future. According to the product details this should be ok with either. I'm a heavy-set person and this mat holds up well. I get indentations on the mat from when I'm sitting in my chair but they disappear after a short period of time so I don't think there will be any long-term issues with that. Also it was delivered flat which was great. Didn't have to deal with unrolling it and waiting for it to flatten out. Was able to pull the stickers/tags off of it and use it immediately.
The mat is not stable on carpets. In a short period of time the mat will move forward because of the desk chair being moved back and forth forcing you to pick up mat to move it backwards.
I believed the mat would be heavier than it proved to be consequently the wheels of my desk chair tend to get stuck in indentations of the mat. It is easier to live with its imperfections than at 84 try to get it returned.
This mat was pretty thin for use on any kind of carpet. The chair legs sink in the mat "moves" and the edges curl. Walking past I cut my foot on the edge of the mat where it was raised up. I would not recommend this mat for any kind of carpet situation.
This mat can't withstand the weight of an average person as the chair wheels dig into the mat. The mat also slides with the lightest touch. Since it will be used in a home setting I'll live with it.
