High quality stitching and material, I'm dinging a star due to taking so much time to sit flat...it still sticks up anywhere I don't have something sitting on it, and I've had it a few weeks.
Made from quality materials, nicely textured. Has stitched edges, which add a touch of class. (if you look closely at the edges, the mat is actually two-ply.) It lies flat, does not wrinkle up, and does not shift around. My wife wants one for her desk, too.
