This is a beautiful  double weave, basket weave rope mat. It's made from the the very same rope that lobster fishermen use to tend to their gear, strong enough to weather ocean storms and astronomical tides! The vibrant colors are long lasting as well as a great conversation piece to your outdoor spaces! it's not only beautiful, but rugged! A quick spray with a garden hose or tap against the porch will remove dirt and get your mat clean!
