I would definitely recommend this litter mat.  The brown mat matches perfectly with my new brown carpet.  It does not get all the litter from getting onto the floor, but then I have two fast cats that do not want to linger in the cat box and get out as fast as they can spreading litter outside the mat.  It is easy clean just shake outside and you can wash with soap and water.  My 9 cats really like these mats and 1 cat loves just to sit on it.  It does have that new smell to the mat, but goes away quickly.
