Rockport Rope Doormats 2030364 Indoor & Outdoor Doormat, 20" x 30", Light Blue Family

I have always considered that the main purpose of a doormat was for dirt to be removed from shoes when people enter a home. This Rockport Rope doormat is attractive and decorative. However, it is very soft, lacks rigidity, does not lie flat and if one attempts to rub or scrape one's shoes on it to remove dirt prior to entering the home, it simply buckles and bends under one's feet. Accordingly, unless you want a doormat for purely decorative purposes, this item is useless!

The quality of this seems pretty nice, however just unpacked so not used yet. We’re using it as an indoor rug for right when you enter from our balcony, to wipe any excess dust on and keep slippers by. It arrived a bit bent but generally in good shape, going to use a heavy object to help flatten it out. Looks handcrafted and hand woven. Would recommend for an indoor rug! Seems like it would absorb a lot of moisture, though, so would not recommend as an outdoor rug or near anything that could leak.

This mat is great. I use it at my back door, which gets lots of wear. Beautiful, vibrant red color. When it gets dirty I just hose it off and it looks brand-new again. The only drag about using the mat outside is that it does not dry quickly. After rinsing with the hose, I do have to hang it over something to get it to dry. The drying thing is just a small inconvenience and the positive aspects of the mat overshadow it. Very happy with my purchase.

I had coconut doormats, dyed doormats that lost color pattern in a few months, doormats with rubber backing that had water standing under them for days, and a shedding doormat... This is the best! Beautiful, looks like new after extensive wear by dogs and kids, does not slip on my flagstone patio landing, does the job of cleaning the soles of shoes. Yes, it gets wet after the rain, but so did my coconut one and all others. Even when wet it cleans the bottom of the shoe. I really like it and will get the second one.

The mat looks fine, but I'm disappointed with how much water it holds. It states in the description "Won't rot, mold or mildew, and dries very quickly". This simply isn't true. It stopped raining two days ago and the thing is still sopping wet. I finally held it up by the corner and a whole bucket's worth of water poured out. I've had a similar mat in the past that did repel water and dried very fast. This is a poor substitute. I'm back to looking for the brand I used to have...

This is a fantastic doormat. I used it indoors for a month or so, then moved it out onto my back porch. The material it is made from is wonderfully soft on the bottom of my bare feet. I have also found that it doesn't seem to ever look dirty, even when we walk on it with shoes on right out of the garden. I am very happy to use it knowing it is made in the USA!

I've had the mat for over a month now and I am very happy with it. I've actually gotten compliments on it, which seems unlikely for an item like this. It is soft to walk on but got used to it quickly. The grey is a very nice deep grey (can't tell from the photo). A friend asked me where I got it as he wanted to order one, so there you have it.

Looks nice in the guest bathroom. It is high quality for sure. One thing negative would be that it is not perfectly square.However, it is not that negative because you get the unique look - like it is handmade and original. It doesn't look like something right off the shelf in a box store.
