I purchased this mat for use on Berber carpet. I guess long gone are the days when one could buy a nice thick, virtually indestructible chair mat for $50 or so, and the last mat I had in that price range cracked up after only a few years under a 120 lb. user.Its size in nice, and it obviously won't slide. My chair rolls fairly easily on the mat. Soon after receiving the mat, though, I realized that my chair casters had already made indentations. So, I went looking some more and found chair casters that are slightly softer and wider than hard plastic casters on the recommendation of a Staples CSR who recommended these casters as a solution to prevent mat cracking. So, I shelled out about another [$]for these new casters for a total of almost $160 for a mat and casters combined, tax included. I hope to return later and revise this review after seeing how this mat performs with these casters, which I hope will be more than adequate given the amount of money I've spent. The indentations that my old casters made may be permanent, however, even though I used the hard casters for only a very short period of time on the new mat.
