See my photo attached -- it doesn't show perfectly what I'm talking about, but my mat is on the thick side.  I'd say it's around an inch thick.  When I got it my first thought was, "so I have a surfboard outside my door now"!   I still love the design--I bought it because it reminds me of a Celtic knot.  It's also cool that it's (apparently, I didn't know this when I purchased it) handmade out of coconut husks, a sustainable fiber.  It seems really durable and it looks like it's going to last a long time, though granted I haven't tried it with wet snowboots on yet.  Overall, I definitely am going to keep it and I like seeing it when I come home... but I do wish it was a little more flush with the floor.
