it works but it already has an indentation after 2 weeks of using it. All chairmats are over priced but at least with this one you can protect the carpet and not spend too much
Face it. You get what you pay for. When delivered I was actually kind of impressed with the construction. It looks thick enough and it does a good job at not moving around. However after a week of using it though I can see the indentations and creases forming. If I get 6 months out of it I'll be lucky. For now it is protecting new low-pile carpeting but I will make a more sizeable investment in a higher quality product the next time.
I was able to get this mat for [$] after the half price sale and a Staples rebate card. Otherwise I would not have bought this mat. Within the next year or so it's going to crack into miniscule little pieces. Hopefully by then I'll be in a position to buy a $70 chair mat. Unfortunately Staples doesn't offer an in-between.
