Five Star Reviews: | 55% Well worth the money. June 18, 2017 OK, I read many reviews before buying these. They are good quality, heavy duty, do an excellent job helping keep dirt out of the house. CONS: yes they shed, all these do, yes they curl up on the ends a little (only a little). Well worth the money and I will gladly buy gthem again. A Quality Product February 28, 2017 In my childhood home we had coconut fiber door mats that were great for removing snow, mud etc. from shoes before entering the house. So many substantial products of the past have been reduced to being pale imitations of the once-great products, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that these mats were every bit as substantial as the old ones!The coconut fiber is ideal for removing grime from shoes without scuffing them. The weave allows the grime to be ground up and exit from the bottom of the mat. All you need to do is shake out the mat occasionally, and of course sweep up the debris. Some who complain about the debris need to understand that this is an outdoor product. OTOH if you add a plastic catch pan to collect the debris, it works fine in mud rooms. Natural COCOA mats cannot be beat! June 21, 2015 Good quality 1.25 inch thick cocoa mat... bought 3 because the price was better than I found locally. Cocoa mats are hard to find these days... too many mats that are rubber and/or plastic recycled waste clogging the store shelves! YOU WILL LOVE THE FEEL of these mats under foot compared to the rubber mats... like standing on PLUSH CARPET, or a cloud.These mats last about two years and are eco-friendly...PLUS clean the debris off soles of shoes much better than the recycled tires, etc. When they are finally ready to discard, add to mulch in flower beds for composting. perfect, thick, captures grit March 7, 2014 these are just the high-quality you might expect if you have ever seen or used them (or had them at home) before. I park a couple of bikes on them after commuting through sand and snow, and put my snowy sandy shoes on the other.The only issue which I can live with is that snow melts and drips through to the floor which I mop up pretty quick or absorb with old newspapers.They capture oodles of sand and grit and keep it in the mat, so that by shaking the mat outside on icy days, I can sand my verandah against slipping! very nice well made heavy mats November 19, 2013 It's very windy here in Michigan and door mats tend to end up in the yard and not on the porch. These are very sturdy and heavy enough to stay put, plus when and if they ever wear out there is no extra stress on the landfill as I can put it into my compost pile. I bought two of these to double as a dirt catcher and also to add some height to make it easier for my dog with very bad hips to step through the dog door from the porch into the house. The porch is 2" lower than my inside floor and it was hard for her to stand on one bad leg while lifting another bad leg to try and come in. I put two of these down and she can come in as easily as she goes out now Perfect for my needs! December 21, 2011 I bought this mat about 5 months ago and I love it!It's no muss, no fuss. It is much thicker than I thought it'd be and stands up to heavy traffic in and out of my place.It gets soaked during heavy rain, but drys quickly.Well worth the price. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 16% Sturdy but sheddy August 24, 2017 Decent but not the best-made coco mat I've owned. Sheds like crazy. But very thick and reasonably sturdy-looking. Great mat, good price, sheds a bit August 12, 2017 Perfect, simple brown doormat. Does well in weather and definitely clears bottom of shoes when you scrape them on it.Con: So-so shedding. Does tend to flake off in the rain/wind and needs to be swept. Good doormat June 23, 2017 Really nice doormat. These doormats do have a tendency to shed quite a bit in the beginning so just be aware. Hopefully, the shedding will slow down after some use. Slides January 11, 2016 It is good quality, thick and rough enough to catch the dirt from our shoes without much effort. It is just what I needed to place at entrance of home from the garage to keep a certain person from tracking in crap when he works in the yard. I don't think it would work well in an are that isn't protected from the rain because it would tend to hold water and quickly rot. But a garage or a covered entrance is the perfect place for this rug. This is much better than the flimsy ones sold for way more than the $17 I paid for this one.UPDATE: It is NOT non-slip! Stepped down on it (laundry room to garage) and sprained my ankle because it slid. Kempf Natural Coco Coir Doormat April 23, 2015 Very dense and durable material! For our doorway, it would be better if the dimensions were slightly larger. However, I love the simplicity of the design and the natural look. Great for my HGTV project August 27, 2013 Could not find a doormat like this in the stores. They all had pictures or writing on them. Found a great scenciling project in the HGTV magazine so I needed one a blank one to do the stenciling on. Good price and worked perfect, Sheds a bit but I am sure most of these kind of doormats do. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 11% Didn't like it. April 5, 2017 Edges curled up within a week and it's fairly thick which makes for a trip hazard. Coco coconut I love you soo! April 7, 2016 Nice looking! SHEDDING TOO MUCH. Keep vacuuming endlessly. Too bad, good looking If you had it in a rain-protected area it would be good. As for the shedding December 13, 2015 It gets the sand and dirt off, but after a couple of months it's still shedding. Plus it takes a very long time for it to dry after a rain. If you had it in a rain-protected area it would be good. As for the shedding, the loose bits come out pretty easily with a shake. If you don't shake them out they get tracked into the house. The mat does look good when shaken out. This mat may work for some but not in my ... November 29, 2014 This mat may work for some but not in my house. Trying to use it just inside the door from outside to my mud room. Was hoping this would help to stop we floors in front of my washer and dryer and keep that area cleaner. If it stayed in place it actually may work. I'm forever sliding it back where it belongs. The other thing, do not step on the outside edging, it will start breaking off. Could be stronger February 18, 2013 While this mat works okay, it is not the strong commercial quality that I expected for the price. I had experienced this type of mat at numerous residential and commercial locations. They always remained dense and firmly packed with the surface being entirely formed from the ends of tightly bound fibers. This one began breaking down and shedding fibers like a cheap paint brush. It has remained intact and does a good job as a doormat, just not as tough as I had seen. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 7% Item seems to be made cheaply. There is no ... March 1, 2017 Item seems to be made cheaply. There is no backing on the bottom as there is with usual doormats. Would not Recommend November 10, 2016 These fell apart fairly quickly, leaving behind a large amount of itself and almost "shedding" constantly. Attempted to use them for an RA program and Housekeeping ended up asking to have them removed because it was clogging up the vacuums. Great pet toy, doormat not so much July 7, 2016 Without a pet in sight, these mats shed profusely with normal use but wait for the pets....they *love* them! Even without expending a lot of energy, the mats shed and strew fiber over the entire surrounding area. What a treat for cats and dogs! They're very thin compared to most coir mats so maybe put them in the Pets Department instead of household? Sheds like a Persian cat February 5, 2015 Sheds like a Persian cat. The front stoop gets covered in fibers that then get tracked into the house. I expect some loose hairs initially but three week in and it is still shedding badly, I wonder there is still a mat left! Nice rug but sheds heavily and slides .... January 3, 2014 This is a beautiful doormat to look at. It is fairly thick and feels durable. But, based on my experience of the past month, the mat sheds heavily. I am a household of one so the mat doesn't get that much traffic - but the limited amount it does requires that I sweep up bristles off my front porch each week. But, my bigger issue is the fact that this mat has no rubber backing. Perhaps I didn't read the product details closely to know that before I bought this - but my porch is made of smooth concrete. As a result, this mat slips and slides when I walk on it. If your porch doesn't have a textured surface, I would not recommend this mat. Does not last - same problem others noted June 22, 2013 The doormat was as advertised in size and I put it at the outside door of my apartment. In about 2 weeks, it started to deteriorate and shed fibers. I noticed other comments with the same problem. In fairness, I have to say that I saw a neighborhood cat by it one morning so I don't know if the cat was using it as a scratching pad. But even so, it did not last long. This is why I gave it 2 stars instead of one. While I like the mat itself, it did not last anywhere near a reasonable time. I will probably go with a heavy rubber mat next. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 11% Very Disappointing October 13, 2017 Even though I have only had this product 20 months this mat is rotting away. It is under a four foot overhang at my front door and it is not like it receives a lot of traffic either I live alone. This mat does not stay in place and sheds like crazy leaving a mess all over the patio and ... April 11, 2017 This mat does not stay in place and sheds like crazy leaving a mess all over the patio and where the shreds were tracked in. Do not buy this product. If you want to trip onto your face December 10, 2016 Corners do not stay flat. people constantly trip on this mat. Old one I had from another mfr. never curled like this used in same location. Going to put old one back to save my life and my wife's life. Nice top surface but strongly do not recommend. Don't Buy; They Shed Continually October 13, 2016 How wrong can you go with a coir doormat? is what I thought. These mats proved me wrong; they shed constantly, making the very mess they were supposed to prevent. I'd return mine but, large, heavy and messy, they are too much trouble to pack up and ship.Avoid this brand. These shed so bad that we need to put a doormat between this ... May 31, 2016 These shed so bad that we need to put a doormat between this and the door to wipe off feet after stepping on this. These mats have increased our sweeping and vacuuming in our house and on our porch 10 fold. Unfortunately I'm 2 days past my return window or I would return but now they will have to go in the garbage or maybe I can burn them. Terrible quality! It has been on a covered porch ... May 26, 2016 Terrible quality! It has been on a covered porch with very little use for less than two months, and has big clumps coming off it like a mangy camel. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
