We got some new kitchen flooring and the transition strip is a bit bumpy, and I kept tripping over it when I entered the kitchen area. We tried putting a rug over the strip which helped, but as you can imagine, the rug kept shifting. We needed something thin enough not to trip over but cushy enough to minimize the strip. This floor mat worked out very well. It's very pretty and doesn't shift around (much). We got two of the exact same thing so if and when the first one wears out, we have a replacement. I would buy this product again.
