modern-twist Table-Runner 100% Food-Grade Silicone, Tabletop Home Decor, Waterproof and Reusable, Linen – Denim

We have a wonderful, granite island we built in our kitchen but foods placed on it cool quickly. This is great when I am baking but not when we put out a spread for guests. This was purchased for blocking the granite and protecting it from hot foods. Love it! Bonus - we leave it out all the time as dishes set on granite can be loud! This blocks that clinking sound. It wipes off easily. Very happy with this. Planning to buy another for my dining room table.

I expected silicone to be non-slip, like rubber, but this actually slips and slides around very easily, which makes wiping down just a bit challenging. However, it looks good, and does the job of protecting the wood table underneath. The product has been on my table for about a month, and I just recently noticed a slit on one end, several inches in length. I don't know if this was a defect, or user error somehow, but as this was an investment that was expected to be used indefinitely, I am disappointed.
