| I have two rectangular Strathwood Rubber Scroll Doormats, and ordered this one too. These mats are heavyweights, take the abuse of animals and kids, and make a nice presentation at the door! The wind won't be taking this one off the porch! |
Great quality, still looks nearly new after 3 1/2 years in the sun

Purchased months ago and still looks like new even after being out in the direct sun all day every day. Warning it really smells bad for a short time.
After 3 1/2 years of being in the direct sun every day, this door mat still looks nearly new, maybe a bit better since the smell is gone. |
Thrilled

I moved recently and have a small front porch. I could not find a nice door mat in the right size, so I checked Amazon. I was thrilled to receive this
sturdy, attractive doormat! It is so perfect! I also bought the rectangular set for steps out back; we've had a lot of snow, so I will wait until spring to use those. They are nice and sturdy too.
Thanks, I lucked out! |
Half-moon or rectangular, either one's great

I first bought the half-moon doormat when I stumbled on it in a Friday Sale. I liked the look so much that when the rectangular version showed up on a subsequent Friday Sale, I ordered one of those, too. I've been pleased with both.
The plusses:
* They look very nice with the scrollwork. There are minor differences in the scrollwork between the two styles, necessary because of the difference in shapes.
* They're heavy and won't blow around. Perhaps more importantly, they tend to "grab" the surface they're on, so they won't slip or skid.
* Rain won't pool as it might on a solid mat, although if the mat is on a very smooth surface, water may build up in the holes in the scrollwork if it can't drain out. I can't vouch for how they'd work in snow (I'm in southern California, after all!).
The minuses (and they're very minor):
* As at least one other review noted, the mats have a rubbery smell initially. In the outdoors, the odor dissipates fairly rapidly.
* Small bits of debris can collect in the holes in the scrollwork (dropped coins, too!). Periodically raising the mat and sweeping or washing the underlying surface solves that easily, and you'd do that anyway to clean your porch.

A Heavyweight!

| I liked the first one so much I ordered a second. This doormat is a heavyweight, and sturdy (as opposed to flimsy)--the wind won't be wreaking havoc with this doormat! |
