This is so much better then the plastic versions offered at most office supply stores (and internet).  We had been looking for a few weeks and so happy we decided to go with glass version as it doesn't cloud your view of the rug underneath.  Price was fantastic and we received very quickly (several days before anticipated). It was very well packaged and not difficult to manage when unpacking and laying down.  We do recommend unpacking outside your living area (i.e. garage/outside) as there is styrofoam that could get all over the place if it cracks/breaks.
