I liked that the material (basically foam) was very light and easy to cut but unfortunately it did not come in a full 48" width so I had to cut 1/2" filler strips along both sides for the exact fit to my project which I later had to cover with wood trim. Another issue I soon discovered is that it gets dirty from foot traffic very easily and takes a bit of effort to clean. I choose the light grey color so it might not be as noticeable with one of the other available darker colors. I am using a clear vinyl runner over the Faux Teak foam material to avoid the foot prints. For my project it was a matter of material weight and this certainly was a fraction of the weight of installing real wood. All and all it looks Great!
