This item was exactly what I was looking for. Rolls up to the
perfect size for carrying in my kayak. Great for laying or sitting on at the beach, does not collect sand, easy to shake off and dries vey quickly. Not too expensive, would definitly buy more.

Great mat that is inexpensive. Used for day trip to beach and worked great. Does mold easily if left outside.

I purchased two of these mats to use them (somewhat unusually) as a screen in my back porch. I will hang them to a couple of poles I installed for this purpose. I have seen many straw mats in my life and these look relatively fragile. They are also not terribly large, although I would likely find them adequate if I had to use them at the beach. Overall, the mats I purchased two years ago at World Market (for a similar price) were larger and significantly sturdier. Unfortunately I could not find the same products this year, which is why I decided to buy on Amazon.

Anyway, these mats are OK but not great. On the other hand, they are quite inexpensive and I am sure they will be adequate for most people, including myself. I would most likely buy them again unless I found the World Market mats I mentioned above.

This felt nice and comfy to lie down on. It seemed to be good quality.

Size in Use: The size seemed very good while I was lying down.
Size in Travel: However, be aware you won't be able to fit this in a small luggage for carry-on in a plane. You will have to pack this thing diagonally in your larger suitcase.

I actually prefer this for use as a picnic mat rather than at the beach. While sand blends in on this mat it still gets as covered as any towel. Great for picnics though.

This product is great for outdoors, but only for so long, it doesn't exactly hold up to wear and tear.

I haven't actually used it since I took to Trinidad on vacation and left it home when I went to the beach. I did open it though and it is quite large, probably sits 4 people or two lying down. This is much better than a towel or plastic throw since not much sand gets up through the weaves and it is somewhat water proof.
