In the pros...
1. It is as it appears.
2. The child loved the designs.
3. Acceptable quality.
4. It is THIN and will not make the child too hot during warmer months.
5. The surface underneath is SOMEWHAT non-slip on the floor.

In the cons...
1. The weaving is done with "shiny nylon". This means it slips a little when stepped on (NOT anything crazy, just the foot doesn't "stick").
2. The surface underneath is SOMEWHAT non-slip, and NOT COMPLETELY! So if the child runs, the mat will start to move around.
3. Since it is thin, it is understood that it does not have "shock-absorbing" properties and it is understood that it is not a rug that will "warm up" in the winter.

However, for what we wanted it for (to have a surface for the child to sit and play on during the summer without hearing the games banging on the tiles), it is perfect!!
