You'll be fine unless you need to claim on a warranty.
I purchased a polycarbonate chair mat from EPM Industrial Australiasia. The purchase and delivery process indicated no problems and the product came with a much-vaunted 10 year warranty. The warranty came with some extensive conditions, primarily: don't use any chemicals on the chair mat, or else the warranty is voided.
No issues with that.
However, after 30 months, the mat developed some full-depth cracks and I contacted the company about it. I happily provided them with photos, and after a short time was told in a fairly rude email that they would not be honouring the warranty because my photos represented "crazed cracking" (they have a photo on their website which looks nothing like what I was seeing).
The email (which was clearly a copy & paste job) said that the mat had come into contact with some chemicals and that I could buy a new one at a small discount. However, (direct quote from the end of the email):
"Other than your acceptance of our offer above I regret I cannot help you further (in correspondence nor by phone) with a claim on warranty for this type of crazed cracking".
In my opinion and based on my experience I think that they create an unprovable situation to avoid having to replace the mats that have failed by saying that there must be chemicals in the carpet. Further, my feeling is that unless you've bought a bunch of mats it's probably not worth pursuing this (which I assume they bank on).
Based on my experience, I'd say this company does not deserve your business and their warranty conditions are specifically designed to avoid ever having to replace a mat. There are plenty of other places to buy chair mats, so go with them.
