I needed a mat for my kitchen and decided to purchase the Gelpro Elite. There were so may colors and designs to choose from it was hard to make a decision. I love the pattern I selected - "Fruit Harvest Toffee" and it looks so pretty in my kitchen. I also do a project in my kitchen where I have to stand for long periods of time. Normally, I have back, hip and feet pain but I didn't experience any of that with my new Gelpro Elite mat. I really LOVE it!!
