Doesn’t repel stains! I spilled pasta water on it and now there’s a permanent stain on my new rug!!

I bought 2 of these in July. They feel great when you are standing in the center of the mat, but when you step off to the side, as I do when cooking, the uneven edge causes me to twist my ankle. I tried to avoid the edge, but when I'm standing at the stove or sink, I'm not looking down, so after repeatedly twisting my ankle, I'm thowing them out. Also a little water from a spill went under the edge and caused the black backing to stick to my tile and come off the mat.

I have ordered this mat twice in gray. I have the same mat in a different size & wanted this to match. Unfortunately - each time I was sent a brown/tan mat. The first time, I first checked that I had ordered the correct color (which I had) so I assumed that the person pulling the order had made a mistake. The second time, having received the same mat, I asked the person at the help desk at my local Sam's club to check why I was being sent the wrong mat. She was extremely helpful & finally said that the number that I had ordered has the tan mat (not the gray mat) listed. She gave me the toll free number to talk with a Sam's club representative to see how/if I could order the gray mat. Today I called the number. It was a very long wait time. I had to explain the situation several times. I was on the line with the initial representative for a long time as she would put me on hold to double check things. Finally she said that she saw the problem but it wasn't something that she could fix. She again put me on hold to speak with her supervisor. I had to again explain the situation to the supervisor who suggested that I order it again & see if I got the right mat. She disagreed with the others who said that the wrong number was associated with the product on line. She said that there was nothing more that could be done; that it could not be guaranteed that I would receive the item that I had ordered & there was nothing to be done to rectivy if. I asked to speak to somebody who could help me rectify the situation & was told that the person who I was speaking to was the "end of the line." On a positive note - return was simple at the store except for the long wait at the service desk both times that I had to return.

I bought this because of the excellent reviews, but I wish I had not. While it's very stylish & feels wonderful while standing on it, it's dangerous. I have only had it for a week & I've tripped on it at least (I'm not exaggerating) 25 times and actually fallen twice & hurt my hip one of those times. The edges don't blend well enough with the raised portion causing it to be a huge TRIP HAZARD! Also, it's raised so high that I can't open cabinet doors, drawers, and/or the oven broiler drawers (you know... where we all store pans). Anyway, I have to move the mat each time I need to get into them & while it's not a huge deal, it's an irritating inconvenience. I do not recommend this!

They are nice thick mats however are way too narrow and could cause someone to fall. We returned them. Our previous mats that we got at Sam’s were very good and lasted for years. They had begun to fray around the edges so we needed new ones. Wish these would have worked.

I tried to get a matching small and large mat for my kitchen based on the photos available and they've sent me the wrong small mat three times now. The screenshot is the mat I tried to get and the photo is the mat I received multiple times. Even after completely returning the order and starting over. Now I can't even return the large mat so I'm stuck with two mismatched mats which was what I was trying to replace to begin with.

These are wonderful No hurting feet while baking

Attractive for what it is, but I found it uncomfortable on my low back, not enough support.

Makes standing by the sink much more comfortable.

Mat looks great and is very comfortable on feet.
