I confess, this mat is not quite what I was expecting when I ordered it. I was expecting something more like what I imagined Astroturf might be, must be, considering that it’s especially well known for professional sports fields. I guess I was expecting something that looked and performed a lot like a good, thick bluegrass lawn, the ideal sports field - moderately thick, strong, resilient blades, densely packed, sticking nearly straight up, perhaps an inch and a half high. And that’s not quite this mat.
This mat is only 3/4” thick/high, and the plastic blades, for whatever reasons, are all kinked, folded part way over roughly in their middle. (Perhaps to give some added bounce/spring to the surface?) The close-up picture at the top of the product listing page actually shows this all pretty well - but I failed to look at it until after the mat arrived! So I’m not sure how impressed I’d be with this mat material if I were using it for a football field. But for an outside doormat, it seems to be just fine. The sea of kinked blades seems to be a very effective surface on which to wipe and clear the bottoms of your shoes/feet - and to trap and hold any debris down within themselves. And I haven’t yet actually tried it, but it seems pretty certain that this mat will be easy to clean when necessary, by letting it dry if necessary, and then just turning it over and shaking/beating it out. So it works well, seems like a fine arrangement for a doormat.
Meanwhile, I reckon I still don’t know for sure what Astroturf really looks like - or whether this mat really is (some kind of) Astroturf. Astroturf has a big, fancy website, listing what appears to be like half a dozen different major varieties of Astroturf product, telling you at length how wonderful each of them is - but conspicuously omitting to show what any of them really looks like! Pretty darn obvious there that the Astroturf people don’t think that their product actually looks good up close! If this doormat really is Astroturf, then I’d have to agree with them: even if it were all bright grass green, it sure doesn’t look much like grass. But for playing football on, it must presumably be pretty good, or else they wouldn’t have such a big name in the business. And, as a doormat, this mat, this material, whatever it is, seems to work fine.
So I give this mat 5 stars. Although only tentatively, until I see how long and well it lasts. Our previous, much less fancy doormat lasted something like 15 years before crumbling under the foot wear and the sun. If this one is really Astroturf, really used for playing football and the like, then it sure oughta’ do at least as well. We’ll see!

Traps dirt!!!!!!!!!!
Camping MUST HAVE! I absolutely love this mat. We tried several different options to keep dirt out of our RV. This mat traps the dirt the best!! It's very sturdy, and although I just got it, seems like it will last a VERY long time. The color is a nice grey that matches our outdoor decor. I'll be buying more of these for outside my doors at my home as well.
