Exactly as pictured. I think a helpful note is that when you choose black, you are will get the mat with the black writing, and beige indicates the mat with the beige writing. I noticed on some reviews people were getting the wrong mats, and I would have also had I not been alerted by their comments that something must be confusing. However, I'm very pleased with my mat. I choose the one with the beige writing and black background. It's modern and clean looking. Exactly what I like!
