I love mine! It sits on the dining room table - almost always. I've joked to friends that it has been there so long my husband thinks it is a table cloth. And that actually got me thinking - Without a second leaf in our table only the very corners of the mat stick out over the edge of the table. I'm going to cut the corners of the mat off round (it won't fect the measuring area of the mat at all) and then I won't even have to take the mat off when i put a tablecloth on!!!!
