Although a bit pricey, the mat is extremely heavy duty and appears to be great quality. When it unrolled from the tube it was flat right away and the grip on the bottom is very good. The pop up leaf pattern looks fancy and I think it will be easy to clean. We are using it by our front door and I think it will last a very long time. The dark green can look almost black in certain light but up close and in good light it's a nice deep forest green colour. Happy with my purchase!
