Fresh Home Elements The FHE Group Slat Door Mat, 18 by 30-Inch, Black

I bought two of these rubber mats for my patio, and loved them so much, I bought two more. They go well with my dark brown wicker patio furniture, and have a fantastic, modern, wood-slat look. Dirt and leaves do get caught between the slats, and become somewhat obvious as others have mentioned, but cleaning it is easy. Simply picking up the mat and dropping it vertically a couple times against a hard floor will quickly get rid of the dirt. Alternatively, running a broom a few times along the slats does an even more thorough job. Having bought four mats, I have noticed a variance in the hardness of the rubber. In fact, one is "squishy" as my kids say, while the other three have very little give, which I prefer.

We have an older dog with back leg issues. When we moved into our new house, she was slipping and falling on the steps to go outside off the porch. Bought a small version of this mat to "try". She at first would not step on it as it was too small. So... I bought bigger ones. Ended up also buying the stair treads elsewhere. In all I have 3 treads, 2 small mats and 2 large long mats. They are fabulous. The snow, ice and rain are easy to get off, slides right out the "tracks" of the mat. They are durable but even stay soft in the cold so the dog has traction going up and down the steps. Would highly recommend these mats.

Most effective and attractive door mat I have ever owned.

This mats fit the mid century modern styling of my home very well. They are also pretty heavy so the wind doesn't pick them up easily.

Lasted less than one month. I ordered two of these mats. Actually, the first I ordered I arranged to return. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it back to the store in time (the box they ship in is ridiculously big and inefficient) and now I'm stuck with two damaged mats. Since I've already paid for them, I decided to use them and now after only a month of use, they are totally destroyed - the color completely rubs off and they both look terrible.

It is so easy to lift up one end and watch the water run off. Dries quickly and can handle heavy rains and flooding.

I like that it looks like wood, but it's rubber, so no slippage. I wanted slats with grooves so dirt would fall down between, not just rubbed on a mat and potentially tracked in, and it works well for that.

I've now ordered this product twice - not only has the product held up well to the standard steppings-upon, it's also survived our package-flinging UPS guy. I almost complained to UPS but then one time I was outside during package-delivery-o'clock and made eye contact with the UPS guy who, not breaking eye contact the entire time, flung my package with calculated precision onto my beloved door mat. I mean, I love my family too much to tattle on the man who at one time was clearly some sort of mercenary. Later that day I caught him on my doorbell camera doing that finger neck slicing gesture thing into the camera while stomping on the door mat. Seeing how well this door mat has stood up to this sort of normal wear and tear, I went out and bought three more for my new house far far away from the other house.
