(More customer reviews)I'm thrilled with this mat. It may be expensive, but considering what it saved me and the wonderful quality, I'm delighted. I have one of those plastic tub/shower units that has served me well, being easy to clean and still looking good after 25 years, but a few years ago, I heard a sudden pop under my feet while showering, and ever since then, the middle of the tub floor has been slightly 'springy'. I had someone look at it and was told the center tub support had cracked. I could get a new unit, have someone crawl under the house, remove the subflooring and reinforce the area from below, or--and I loved this--not stand in the middle of the tub when showering as eventually the bottom would crack requiring replacement. Horrors. So for three years, I've been straddling the center of tub floor. This is a giant pain, but the other options were really expensive and disruptive.
When I discovered this lovely teak mat, I thought, why wouldn't that work to distribute my weight along the sides of the tub floor while providing me something sturdy and pleasant to stand on when showering? And it does. In spades. It is exactly the width to fit perfectly in the tub bottom. I can stand in the middle of the mat and move around without worry of compromising the tub structure. I wish it was also long enough to cover more of the tub floor, but it covers enough to be practical.
The mat is not slippery when wet, feels luxurious and spa-like under my feet, dries beautifully and has improved the quality of my life. How great is that? The wood is strong and does not yield. There are eight small rubber 'feet' on the bottom so the wood slats are slightly raised off the floor surface thus providing better drainage and faster drying. I would recommend one of these mats for any plastic tub or shower unit (preferably before it cracks underneath like mine did) and for anyone who wants secure footing while showering. I'm tempted to get another as a welcome mat at my deck door since other mats tend to hold moisture after it rains, which damages the deck flooring. Well worth the cost and highly recommended.
