What customers say
Customer satisfaction centers overwhelmingly on the doormat's signature El Arroyo humor and relatable message. Reviewers consistently praise it as a fantastic conversation starter that immediately brings smiles and compliments from guests. The product successfully acts as a vibrant personality statement for the entryway. Print quality is frequently noted as crisp and clear, perfectly maintaining the iconic aesthetic. The strong emotional connection and comedic value are the primary drivers of high satisfaction, making it a popular gift choice. While the coir material shows expected initial shedding, and some note potential fading with harsh sun or heavy rain, the sheer joy and wit provided far outweigh these minor durability considerations for most users.
Know before you buy
This mat measures 30 inches in length by 18 inches in width, making it a standard size suitable for most residential entryways.
The recommended cleaning method is to simply shake the mat off. Because it lacks drainage holes, it is best to keep it in a covered outdoor area to prevent water saturation.
No, this model does not feature a non-slip backing. You may want to use it on a flat, stable surface or add a separate rug pad if you are concerned about it sliding on slick porch tiles.
This mat is designed for outdoor use, but it is not UV-resistant or equipped with drainage holes. To maintain the quality of the print and the material, it is best placed in a covered entryway or porch rather than an area fully exposed to the elements.
