5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful mat, August 23, 2009

I bought this mat because reviews of alphabet-type mats indicated they were hard to clean because of all the edges. This mat is easy to clean, is aesthetically pleasing for adults, and fun and colorful for our 6-mo old! He loves pulling out the circles and the borders. Thick enough to cushion his falls and durable--I accidentally stepped on it with a high heeled shoe and it left an imprint for a few days but has since sprang back to form. I would happily purchase a few more to increase the play space.

3.0 out of 5 stars Is NOT one inch thick, October 29, 2009

We just received this mat. So far it looks fine. I set it up on our carpeted floor, walked around on it in sock feet, and it didn't come apart. I'm sure eventually my daughter will be able to pull it apart, but hopefully by then she'll be falling over less.

I would give this higher marks except that this mat is, at most, half an inch thick. The product description says 1 inch. Since the mat is actually destined for a hardwood floor, not sure we'll keep it b/c of the thickness.

UPDATE

I researched other mat options and discovered that all the mats in this price ranges are 5/8" thick. So, the thickness is what you get with all tile mats. We walk around on it all the time, and it doesn't come apart. My daughter has recently begun to pull the tiles apart, but the material is durable and doesn't rip. She even chews on the extra edge pieces (we have a couple of sets to cover the entire space) and they don't break into smaller pieces.

1.0 out of 5 stars beware: Belgium/France have banned foam mats due to carcinogens, May 30, 2011

In December of 2010, foam puzzle mats were banned in both Belgium and France for containing a cancer causing chemical. See:[...]

In addition to the ban, Belgium is imposing a 20,000 euro fine for anyone found selling them.

The studies found that the chemical in the mats was absorbed through contact and breathing.
