This is a very cute mat. I picked a rubber mat versus a grassy mat so that it wouldn’t absorb the rain since it sits at my back door coming in from our pool. It rained all day yesterday and when I stepped on it barefoot I didn’t step onto a mushy mat. That’s a big plus BUT I do have to say that it hurts my feet when I step on it and that’s going to present a problem since I usually step in and out barefoot. I considered buying one for my front door but because of it hurting my feet, I won’t.. Francine. US. Sun Jun 02 2024
