Omigosh this Teak Mat is gorgeous and supportive under foot! We had recently bought 2 from another vendor, those will be repurposed as patio tables or something. This Cathrine mat is such a great value! See my photos how well the reverse side is constructed so the person is supported w no sag points. Photo 1 shows the comparison of the tops, the one IN the shower is the Cathrine, the one outside the shower is the competitor. Roughly same price. Photo 2 shows the bottom of the mats, the extra wood support no doubt holds that beautiful wood pattern in place but also gives super support and steadiness, again compared to the competition's one outside the shower w only 3 support pieces, typical of all other teak mats I've seen or owned. This very beautiful Cathrine Teak Shower Mat has upgraded our shower to a luxury hotel experience. Love it!
