This was a fantastic purchase.  It is the perfect size to cover the ground completely outside of my front door.  I love that!  (No more dinky little door mats for me!)  It is a nice thick one, made of some sort of indestructible material.  We live in a harsh climate, but the hot and cold have not been a problem.  I bought the bright blue color (gorgeous!) and it has not faded a bit...and I have had this mat out there for a long time now in bright sun.  When it gets dirty (and in my part of the country, that happens a lot), I just hose it off and it is good as new.  I wish more things were made out of this material.  These mats are a little pricey, but worth every penny.  I figure this thing is going to last me at least 10 years (maybe more!)
