One of the great features of this sink mat is the ability to adapt it to fit the shape of your sink.  The way it is patterned allows for a hole to be cut to accommodate a sink drain.  I really like the thickness and general construction of the mat, and the feet on the bottom that elevate it.  This is a great idea, allowing nothing to get trapped underneath.  I love that I am able to place the mat in the dishwasher so that it gets a thorough clean at a very high temperature, and that almost anything can be placed on it because it is heat safe.  A very adaptable and functional sink mat that I am extremely happy with.
