Product review (2 stars): Ehhh... not what i was expecting...
I ordered this thinking the short side would go on the counter, but since the stove is slightly higher, the long side is on the counter. But my counters are white, so it's super noticeable. If I trim it, I don't think it would work as well, since it pops up a little bit. I guess it gets the job done, but not as subtly as I hoped. I'd suggest matching to your counter color.
