This is a great price for a tempered glass chair mat - even cheaper than most hard plastic plastic chair mats of the same size.
I am kind of pissed, I bought this for $60 three weeks ago and thought
that was an awesome price. Amazon won't adjust my price so I'm tempted to return and re-buy but I was so happy to get this for $60 that I don't want to take advantage of Amazon, I'm sure the shipping for this is more than $15 due to the size and weight. Especially since before finding this glass mat I bought a hard plastic one for $50 (which was the best deal I could find for plastic) and I am returning that one which is
now selling for $60 [amazon.com].
As for the quality, unlike plastic mats, glass is glass so all tempered glass mats should be of comparable quality. I'm happy with mine and have no complaints.
Edit: Just noticed this was a few bucks cheaper last February and that was a popular
FP deal.

These are better than plastic, should last forever and will look like new for years. Brand names like Vitrazza start at $300 for a mat this size and run all the way up to $800 for larger ones. I wanted glass but the cost was prohibitive, but for $60 (when I got it) this was a no-brainer for me.
I have been using a wood-grain look vinyl mat for last 10+ years since moved to a house with hardwood floor and I work at home so like 10hr+ everyday. Other than it doesn't look shiny anymore, there is 0 damage to it.
My wife is using the Ikea one on hardwood floor also, only a few months though, so far it's doing great.
It said "For use on any floor type" which would make me turn away.
I think for carpet, tempered glass will last longer but it could be too slippery
I have fallen or almost fallen a few times from a $20 Walmart chair on hardwood floor because the super slick caster, but it's much better on vinyl mat. I would imagine the glass would be too slippery for some chairs.
On hardwood floor, I don't see much benefit over vinyl or other material but give a too slippery surface. Vinyl mat will last as good as glass and no accidental damage because of dropping heavy thing.
On tile floor which usually not perfectly flat, it might become much easier to break.

Unless you really need to protect your floor don't use these.
I had a much larger one on my desk area and it still wasn't big enough. Would roll off the edge often and it's loud and takes a ton of effort to get back onto without getting up.
Especially annoying if you are always on the move or like to roll away to the printer/etc.
Oh, I did secure it to my carpet with some carpet tape because it was moving around too much.
Not for everybody though.

I'll update here if their pricing is cheaper.

I added 9 gallons (6 distilled and 3 spring) of water to make the total just over $50 for all of it shipped. I figure that's like 60¢ per gallon since next best I could find for the mat was this deal at Amazon.
