The mat is non-slip and beautiful dimensionally stable, but the material is zero absorbent. If you stand on it after showering, the water seems to stand out. Our old shower mat from Ikea, which unfortunately no longer exist with non-slip floor has :-( continue to run a dry foot, after one has ever stood on. Not so this mat. The feet remain wet, as it does not absorb moisture. The water that comes down is not included, but remains somehow stand on it. Unpleasant when it occurs a little later and somehow resists moisture in. On the whole, therefore, not a nice material very synthetic. I keep them now, they would but do not buy it again - certainly not at the price!
