Economy Mat-fits in a small area

The mat fit easily under my computer desk. However unrolling is was a little difficult because the plastic is stiff.The mat became flat after several days. Based on past use this will save my rug and make working on the computer easier.
Maybe my carpet is too plush but it's not high end carpet. My chair leaves impressions in the mat sort of like little pot holes and it's hard to roll out of. annoying if you are trying to just scoot forward a few inches closer to the desk because the chair wants to roll back into the cup it created. The impressions in the mat come back out but it's a little annoying
THIS IS TYPICAL OF THIS PRODUCT MADE BY ROBBINS. MATERIAL IS TOO THIN AND TOO SOFT FOR TODAY'S OFFICE CHAIRS WITH WHEELS. I PLAN ON USING THE OLD CHAIR MAT AND PLACE THE NEW ONE ON TOP FOR BETTER STABILITY LESS CRUSH BY THE WHEELS. A BETTER ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE TO MAKE A CHAIR MAT FROM THE HARDWOOD FLOOR LAMINATES AT THE HOME CENTERS. ONE CAN CUSTOM DESIGN THE SIZE WITH A WOOD COLOR TO MATCH THE OFFICE. VELCRO ON THE BOTTOM WOULD ELIMINATE THE SLIDING. THAT'S MY SOLUTION TO ALL THE CON REPORTS ON THE STAPLES FORUM PAGES....
Good quality reasonably priced. Looks great and doing the job.Have only had it a few months so can't judge how it will hold up for the long term. So far so good.
