Place Mat is what I wanted. It is made of lightweight plastic that can be bent or folded. It is weaved braided-like  plastic (took a closeup picture) that has small holes through it. It gives it a classier edge because it does not look like you bought it from a dollar store.  The mat that has a textured stripe imprinted on it.  It does wipe off crumbs easily. I do not plan on washing it through a washing machine like fabric. I do think  it will handle everyday usage nicely. It's worth the cost. I chose the cream and blue striped. Thumbs up on this product.
