Found on Amazon, looks very handy but is it really antistatic (ESD safe)
for our purposes?
I wouldn't touch that type of mat if you are working with static sensitive
electronics.
For a proper ESD mat take a look at this:

A top half that is dissapative, can't easily be punctured, can handle high
temperature for a short time without burning for a short term. The bottom
half is conductive. It has attachment points for a wrist strap and for the
wire that should be connected to ground to get rid of any charge build up.
