The mat is beautiful. It makes the kitchen look so warm and inviting BUT as for the "anti-fatigue" part, this is definitely not what I thought I was ordering.  The mat is very thin, no thickness at all. When you step on it, the "stuffing" feels like crinkled cardboard. It is unevenly spread throughout the mat and you feel the floor where the stuffing is missing. I am very disappointed in my purchase. I had hoped this would help my feet and legs as we are on a concrete slab with tile flooring and it is so hard to stand for any length of time.  If you are looking for a padded mat, pass this one by. I wish I had!
