Great mat at first, but dangerous after time!
Purchase this mat in May 2013. The mat provides great comfort for standing. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold its shape/remain flat or flush to the floor over time. I noticed the problem within the first 4 months, but didn't expect it to keep getting worse. The mat "curling" creates a significant tripping hazard in the kitchen. As you can see from the images, from a distance an individual walking toward the mat wouldn't necessarily notice the hazard. However, up close, it's clear that it's easy for ones foot to get caught. When your working with knives, hot pans, etc this creates multiple opportunities for hazardous situations. I tried to work around it at first, but it's just too much of a risk. Mom almost fell, but caught herself on the counters edge. I'm going to replace the mat with one of better quality so the edges don't curl up.
