I was concerned after reading other reviews.  When it came (which was fast), I loved it.  Yes, it is thinner than I would have usually liked,, but for my purpose thin worked just fine.  I put it under a new ground dinette set in my kitchen and It lays nice and flat and not so thick you trip over it.  The colors complement the dark woods of my dinette set.  I have had a lot a compliments on it.  Thanks.
