"I purchased this mat in the blue/gold color. I was looking for an attractive mat that would look good in my living room and not look too "kiddie." I really like the look of it. I have a one year old and it is very comfortable for him to play on and cushions him well if he falls. One of the drawbacks is that it scratches easily and they show. My least favorite thing about it is the fact that the pieces come apart very easily and my son likes to take the mat apart. Other than that, it's great."
