This outdoor mat is exactly what I had been searching for. It is high quality and customizable for shape and size. It is natural coir with no backing, so works for a sheltered entry. The thickness is a generous inch which adds to the weight & keeps it from slipping. My door opens inward, so the height is not an issue and the 5’ length covered our double doors. Natural coir does shed a bit and that’s normal. Our previous Coir mat was from a different company and lasted for years. I expect that this one will too and was priced a little lower. I recommend this mat for those who want a natural product in a sheltered entry.
