The mat does what it is supposed to protect the ground reliably. She is transparent within their means, because by the grooved anti-slip surface can not be transparent or even invisible. So depending on the light incidence can be seen that part pretty well. However, we got used to it after a few days and no longer see it now after a few week. Those who are not stupid hires unpack or put on the ground can not cut it, and as I said the surface is tacky feel, but not too loud to roles for the office chair. And yes, you have to deduct the thin protective film, then the mat is less visible ;-)
