I wanted a non-skid bath mat for my newly renovated bathroom that was also sleek-looking, and preferably not made of fabric. This teak bathmat is ideal in that it does not leave puddles of water when I exit my jacuzzi bathtub. It is quick-drying, has 4 rubber dots on the underside in the corners for non-slip. I could easily fold it up and put it away, but I have left it adjacent to the tub because the wood picks up the brown in my granite, making it an attractive enhancement. It is not hard on the feet at all, nor is it heavy and I am a "seasoned citizen." I highly recommend.
