I bought this to replace a plastic floor protection mat. I'm a mechanical engineer so I knew the risk associate with rolling over a segmented wood product. This product made it 13 months before beginning to shatter under the load of the urethane wheels. It wasn't unexpected just a bit disappointing. If the underlying mesh and/or the bamboo had been a bit thicker (probably both) the slats would have held up another couple years or maybe much longer. It's still usable. However now I have to pick up the long wood shards expelled a few times a week so our automatic vacuum doesn't choke on them. Toby tends to stop working when he catches too much wood on a single pass. :).All tolled it still looks decent with only a few cleanable stains. and the border is durable but a bit hard to de-lint using only the robot vac. WE will move to a different type of natural rug design. Might still be bamboo with larger planks. The size is good for our larger 60" wide desks at the home office.
