Why it matters
Nalalas makes its bowl mat from faux leather instead of silicone, aiming for something that looks at home in a kitchen or living room. It's waterproof and non-slip, and measures 16.5 x 28 in.
It wipes clean; the maker says hand wash only.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if

Look elsewhere if

Pros and cons
Pros
- Decor-friendly look
- Waterproof
- Non-slip
Cons
- Hand wash only
- No raised edge
- Large for small spaces
Limitations to weigh
- Measure the space; a mat should extend past the bowls on every side.
- Wash bowls daily; check whether the bowl, the stand or both can go in the dishwasher.
- Wipe the mat often; water under bowls can mildew.
