I just got this product and I am very excited! It is just as it is pictured and is great quality. I have not yet used it though because I am waiting for our new puppy to become a bit older, but it will be a great addition to our kitchen leading out to the deck. My only concern is how it will hold-up with stains or mud. It seems too nice to actually use outside. If outside I feel like it should be in an enclosed living area.
