The look was what I wanted, but we've had to pull it up, as it will not dry out.  We have it sitting on our concrete porch and are finding it just holds water like crazy and takes forever to dry out.  As we purchased it to go under our patio table and chairs, it isn't really feasible to pull it up and hang it dry out every single time it rains as we would have to move all the furniture off to do that.  Also, the edges are getting mold/moss growing on them.  If you're thinking of this for a non-covered / protected area, I would pass and find something else.
