Need new floor mat - tired of plastic ones

Let's see...

$180 glass mat... or

$22 plastic mat from Costco... with lifetime warranty... to be replaced free every 2 years when it cracks...

Hmmmmm??
 
the first question should be-what type of floor do you have?

i have hardwood and those clear ones from office depot are look fine to me after at least 4 years of heavy usage. no cracks or any other damage.

delivery was fun. it was free an i order 3 mats. they arrived ....on 18 wheeler! in small residential neighborhood. :)
 
change the floor. it's cheap and easy DIY. specially with laminate.
when i was living in the place with carpet-i did exactly what Scataphagos proposed. well.. maybe a bit different..you buy a mat at local staples(made by\for staple)-use it. when it's crack-buy another one and return old one using fresh receipt from staples :p

Maybe consider a quality medium pile persian rug that'll help tie the room together. Cut up old plastic protective mat so it's a bit smaller than persian rug footprint, thus completely hidden, but more supportive for casters. You never know, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezQLP1dj_t8

If you have very high grade carpet, shouldn't need a plastic/glass cover. I did this for years before ripping it out and putting in Walnut. Casters never left permanent mark/divot in carpet.
