I have this in my back yard, set on patio bricks, just outside my lanai, which has an ocean motif decor.  It gets the yard muck and mud off my feet.  But, like all coir mats, it sheds, and those little pieces of coco mat stick to shoes.  I have another, less heavy duty mat on the lanai to wipe again prior to entering the house.  I knew this going in, so the mat is exactly what I wanted and expected.
