We got this for our home office. It seems pretty durable so far. I am using it with a L-desk in which the mat butts up against the desk so the mat sliding on the carpet is not an issue for us. (Before we got the desk we had the mat setting on the open floor and I noticed it would move some on the carpet) The "nubs" on the bottom are very shallow, I would have expected longer ones for plush pile. The edges are pretty sharp on the mat. I have not noticed it marring the desk where it touches the base though. Overall I like the mat but it is kinda  pricey
