Helps traffic of incoming guest traffic easy to clean.

The pictures didn't make clear, exactly how sturdy this mat is, so I took some. Wow, I'm impressed! It's like heavy duty office chair mat, with strong plastic ribs in it. The corners are square, not rounded... which is perfect for my needs.One of the bifold doors is missing on our room. It's a custom size door, not easy to replace. Nonetheless, I have a desire to keep cats out. Since I can't replace the door, I've tried other things, such as drapes, plastic shower curtains, wire shelving, cardboard... but they always chew/claw/jump their way through.I hung this mat to make a cheap sliding door, and when I did, voila! This mat resists all claws! The cats can't jump it, it's too high; they can't push through it, it's too thick. I have the bottom blocked with a cardboard box to prevent them from turning into 'pudding cats' and oozing their way through the bottom.It feels stronger and thicker than my thick office chair floor mat, which I paid over $100 for.So for the cost of two shower curtains, I have a solution that will let me sleep at night. Yay.

Im very happy with my purchase because i believe i got a good deal for the price.I bought this mat to use as a runner, across the carpeted room that leads to the outside.Im not sure why others are complaining so much about several things, which i have listed and explained below:1) the smell: yes, it smells bad but ONLY if you're actually putting your nose right next to it. So, all the bad reviews that said it had a terrible chemical smell right out of the box are not true. I didnt smell anything, out of the box, so i decided to get real close to see what reviewers were complaining about. So, in other words, you wont notice the smell unless you're looking for it.2) needs to be aired out: Because of these reviews I decided to leave it (rolled up but standing) in the garage for 3 days. I really don't think it needed to be aired out but I decided to take the safe route, on this one. I have small kids and didnt want to fill up the room with any smell. After the 3 days, I unrolled it and put it where i wanted it, i didnt have any problems with smell. None! Again, not sure why others are complaining saying it fills the room with a nasty smell. I think they might be way too sensitive because i have a pretty good nose, when it comes to smells, and i cant get a scent off of it.3) doesn't lay flat: although i can see why some say this, i think they are being overly picky. Im a pretty picky person but as you can see on my pics, it lays pretty flat. Yes, it is not perfectly straight (because it came rolled) but it also doesnt cause a tripping hazard like others have mentioned. Maybe it would for those that have trouble walking. Look at the pic and you can see for yourself how it lays. I didnt have to do anything to it, but unroll it, either. It's laid pretty flat from the beginning (i.e. it hasnt been there for days/weeks/months).4) the corners stick up: i had no trouble with the corners sticking up. Especially because the mat came rolled with the pokey-side in. So the corners lay flat, as well.Overall, i am very satisfied with my purchase. It does the job just fine. The only reason I give this mat a 4-star is because the spikes do not dig into my carpet, as much as I had hoped, so it does allow movement of the mat. I don't see this as a major negative but it is a bit inconvenient to have to move the mat back to where i want it. You can see the type of carpet I have, in pics. Its a thin carpet so it may do a better job of holding on to a thicker carpet/rug. Other than this I am happy that I didnt spend more money on a mat that wouldve given me the same performance as this one.

Using this to protect hardwood floors where flowers planters sit. Doing the job just fine

I never give reviews but I’d really hate for someone else to buy this if you’re using it in the house. As far as the quality it is very good, however the odor to this thing is horrendous. I read the reviews and noted other people talking about the odor. I live on a farm so I’m used to foul smell, I thought others were just over sensitive to smell. Not the case, it is horrible and has not got any better in the 5 weeks like I was expecting. Today I am shopping local to see if I can find one that doesn’t make me want to run out of my house. I sure can’t have people over for the holidays with this thing in here.

This is a decent runner. Unfortunately, it does not want to stick to my carpet, it slides and bunches. It's very durable however. Possibly different carpeting allows better adherence.

This are great to keep the carpet and area rugs clean and dry from daily walking and especially when it rains

Good quality. Perfect for what I needed.
