Five years ago, I bought another brand of gel mat. I paid considerably more for it. It was quite a bit heavier, but alas - after a few years, it began to curl up at the edges, and became a tripping hazard to everyone in my kitchen. Fast forward - I finally tired of that and replaced it with this Imprint Nantucket brand. I have to admit, it looks better! Also, lays flat and appears as though the design will not lend itself to curling edges. The color matches our oil-rubbed bronze hardware perfectly. I'm quite happy with it!
