I wanted something to match my keyboard mat without being floral, and needed it to be thick enough to slow down the rolling of my chair, but thin enough that it would still glide easily. This mat is perfect! Its thin but still nonslip so it doesnt move around on the vinyl floors. The colors are not super bright which is also what I was looking for. I got it on sale so I felt the price was a good bargain compared to what I was looking at, both online and in stores.
