I'm trying for a spa look in the bathroom and I placed this mat in the shower/tub and it looks great. I haven't used it yet (still moving in and setting up the place) but standing on it for a few seconds it appears to be solid and comfortable. The rubber strips on the base cover the entire "feet" and it does not slip on the floor of the tub. I can't wait to use it. Keep in mind this will also raise you in the shower since it sits approximately 2" from the floor of the tub.
