I got this for my office. I was looking for a thin, low-pile rug to put down under my desk and desk chair so my chair's wheels wouldn't scratch my rental's hardwood floors. I didn't want to get a chair mat because those are hideous, so I settled on this, since it fits in with my office decor well. The rug is very low pile and does not interfere with my Steelcase chair's wheels at all; I can still roll around easily and take care of business as I work without getting hung up in the rug.
