This is a good size. I put it outside on a balcony that gets direct sun, which causes the floor to get hot, uncomfortably hot for bare feet. This covers that surface and allows me to walk barefoot no matter the time of day. We had some rain yesterday. It drained well, and as I walked on it with my bare feet, it felt very nice to me. I want to get more of this!
When I first took it out of the box, it shed a little. It's not a big deal; just open the box and remove it outside. I shook it, and the loose "grass" pieces fell to the ground. It was not too much.
