This fit well in my space. I have hardwood floors and this is thick enough for me. Great item for the price. The item comes rolled up, so it does not lay flat as soon as you get it out the box. I didn't even have to place anything heavy on top of it to make it lay flat. I laid it on the floor in the place I wanted it and after 30 minutes or less, it was laying flat all by itself. Do be aware, this item is for hardwood floors  or other hard floors (as stated in the item description), NOT for carpet. I saw a few discouraging reviews about dents after use and the quality being bad, but all those people had this mat on top of carpet, which is not ideal. I will be getting another one of this for a second desk.
