I have had these mats -I purchased two for my kitchen, for a number of months and love the design in conjunction with the tile and kitchen decor.  I like that they can just be mopped as I am mopping the tile floor.  It is extremely difficult to find throw rugs even when they have a backing that can be vacuumed, so this fit the bill. The colors are just as vibrant as when I received them and they are wearing well.  The only negative that I will mention is that until you get used to them you can trip on the mat due to the height of it in conjunction with the floor. Overall, I have been very happy with my purchase.
