Saratoga Black Anti-Fatigue Comfort Mat

***1 Year Update*** I've had this mat for just over a year. I've used it standing at my desk on and off for about 5-6 hours each week day. The foam on the mat has already split in multiple places and chunks of it have dropped off of it. The back incline has its days numbered. The little nubs on the front have been popping off for months now. The orange ball, which I loved has also started chipping off pieces. So the conclusion is, this is designed to last about a year of continued use without shoes. WITH shoes, I've give this thing a few months tops. Original review for transparency: What can I say? The mat is very large, very cushioning for your feet, and has a good assortment of parts to step on, changing your position. I use this with my standing desk, and I'm very happy. I especially enjoy the orange ball that came with it. It's hard enough you can put your weight on it, and the texture/surface pattern keeps it from being too easy to roll. The perfect combo for a ball you roll your feet on while standing or sitting. The price on this mat, compared to similar mats (it costs 40-50% less than most high-end mats) makes this a no-brainer for standing desk users. I can't imagine that the quality increase on the big-name mats would justify a change for me.
