We’ve only had this play mat for a day, and I’m already obsessed. It is aesthetically pleasing and looks great in our natural, tan, beige, dusty pink nursery. It’s super cute, and I wanted something that would hold up since we have a dog. I think this play mat will be durable enough. 🐶 Therefore it is worth the price! Plus, within a few hours of having this mat, our baby learned to go from laying down to a sitting position. The traction is helpful for babies, and the mat is soft enough to fall on when learning to sit. 😊 I’ve only had the mat 24 hours, but I cannot say enough good things! I’d say buy it if you’re on the fence.
