I love the cranberry colored GelPro mat that I've had in my kitchen for a few years. So I decided to get two more, in the thatcher blue china design. They look fantastic, and I'm so glad I chose the longer size this time. One runs the length of the kitchen island, while the other runs the length of the sink. Standing on my ceramic tile floor was starting to give me plantar fasciitis. Using these mats cleared that up right away. I would highly recommend the Elite series.
