I actually thought the mat was too large after I opened the package, but after laying it out on our front steps, it turned out to be a perfect size for it! The mat we received seems to be very slightly wider on 1 side vs the other and will likely pull b/c of the braided style hence the 4 stars, but it's hardly noticeable so we're going to keep it and see how it holds up. If you love the braided look/style, then I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this.

Pros: perfect size for stand front porches, doors, steps
Cons: slightly wider on 1 side than other, but barely noticeable
