Have appointed as visibility and wind protection for the terrace delimitation the mat. A more accurate description of the state would be nice, since the product is indeed unused, but was apparently rumgefahren been "years" somewhere. The carrying bag was partially torn strongly (but the flies out of the box in the trash anyway), the mat, however, had thereby suffered anywhere in the world before the absence of moisture, which can be seen well in the dark discoloration. Since it is but used outdoors, has now not really bother me. The mat is a natural product, therefore the different strength of bamboo struts is not only logical, but in my case, also welcome. Conclusion: For the price, all in all OK, if the other side of the terrace is off, I'll order the bamboo mat again.
