Good Quality & Perfect Size

I had two office mats that had turned yellow after nearly 8 years so I found this mat and bought two. They are the same size as my previous mats so they fit perfectly. However they have a smoother surface than my older ones which I really enjoy; less noise when the wheels of my office chair(s) swivel around. Speaking of which these are good for light to medium weight office chairs; in general these mats will start to get indentations on ANY carpeted floor if your chair is a heavyweight (it'll sink into the same spot over time). Plan ahead if you have carpeting and don't get a really heavy chair. Also the lip of these mats is NOT beveled to keep the chair on but sloped to let the chair slide off; this may be good or bad depending on your preferences.
The 50% off coupon led us to make this purchase but it is definitely a better value than the more costly folding model. That one cracked in less than a full year.
I've had my chair mat for three days and I'm already pulling myself out of the craters I've made by sitting in one place while clicking away on my p/c.I realy thought $70 bucks was going to do it I'm realy disapointed.I will say it protects my flat(not plush)rug but at an inconvenience.I'm thinking plywood then the mat. I use a 4 wheel office chair and weigh 210 lbs which I'm sure add to the dips and divots.
