This is a great compact, lightweight waterproof portable mat. I really like the blue and gray color scheme. It is made well and I like the light stakes that come with it. I actually plan to use this a tarp under a table when we have very messy children eating at our Thanksgiving table. I think it will do the job well and I can throw it in the wash! I am horrible and folding anything: shirts, blankets, sheets, you name it, so this was very challenging for me to fold up and put back in the small bag in spite of all the strong creases in the blanket. After 4 tries I succeeded! It takes up virtually no space and is so very handy! Who couldn't use one of these!
