This piece is just perfect and equally beautiful. It looks great and is just the right size (not to small and not to bulky) to keep messes from getting on the counter. Very stylish and useful. Great moisture barrier and padded for extra protection. This item is very easy to clean and continues to look like new. These come in a wide variety of colors and patterns and can be used for many different jobs in your kitchen. They can be used for place matts, dish drying and protection from scratches and dings on fragile countertops. I like it just slightly under my Keurig for added protection from accidental sliding, splatters, drips and spills. The addition of this matt also gives the coffee area and counter space a clean and organized appearance from the very first glance.  Great for giving as giftes. Christmas, birthdays and any occasion. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone including friends and family without hesitation.
