Aside from all the eco-friendly issues of using bamboo, this is a great office mat.  Plastic mats that I have had tend to crack and  fall apart rather quickly as the chair wheels roll back and forth over them. 

Mine is in my spare bedroom/office/craft room and it can be rolled up and put it in a closet when I have company.  I have also left it in place because I don't need to remove my working swivel chair.

This is my second mat.  My first one was purchased about 5 years ago and it has begun to show some wear and tear.  Unfortunately the shipping carton housing the mat does not protect it sufficiently and it can be delivered damaged, and so delivery should not be accepted.  

Wayfair is excellent in dealing with these problems and I now have my new mat in place.
