This mat is PERFECT! It's beautiful, well-crafted with high-quality material and it's extremely durable (I'm a very large, heavy woman with a large, heavy-duty chair and it handles all that weight all day & night without issue!). My chair rolls across it smoothly and it protects the hardwood floor beneath it very nicely. It came well-packed in a large, durable, FLAT box - that alone is worth the price - no frustration like you have with trying to flatten and get out the wrinkles of other mats that arrive rolled up! It is very heavy so be prepared for that, but that's also a plus because unlike other mats it stays put. They also give you some flat, round, rubber (I think?) discs that you can use to adhere the mat to a non-carpeted surface, however, I did not need them as mine stays put on the hardwood floor. You also get a 5-year warranty - you just cannot go wrong with purchasing this mat! Save yourself the cost and frustration you get with other mats and buy this one, you will not be disappointed!
