This mat looked stunning when we first placed it outside our front door.  But be aware that weather -- just rain -- will discolor it, so it is now drab looking, and we are ready to replace it after only 3 months.  I am not sure why getting wet turned the yellow to brown, but we were sad, given how nice it looked when it arrived!  At least the material still holds up, with a good high coir "pile" for drying feet before entering the house.
