Exactly what I wanted! Soft and thicker than I expected. Edge on one side is retaining a slight curl but hoping that will flatten with more time. It's a little off white but I prefer that in hopes that it will stay clean longer. Using at the entrance to the kitchen rather than where it might get hit with food when cooking for that reason. Would buy again or even bigger if I had a spot for it! So satisfied I'm considering getting another as a gift.
