I bought this for our nursery to have something padded and to do tummy time when we are in there. It is much thicker than expected, which is nice for both me and baby. The colors are also vibrant and not faded, so it works well with our decor. I imagine this getting years of use with the roads and when baby is a toddler and plays with trucks and cars and more imaginative play, which was a big reason we went with this design.
