I have only had the mat for a week but so far it is a winner:  does not slide on the floor, tapered edges prevent tripping, is very cushioned and the trellis design is raised so it is non-slip.  I decided on the golden color to blend with my oak floors and it looks good.  I also decided to get the larger size which works well for our situation -  with the dishwasher next to the sink, it keeps drops of water on the mat rather than the wood floor.
