Every one of my flags are so beautiful. I have flag (house & garden ones) for many years and they are just starting to fade. My door mats are a wonderful conversesation piece. The rubber mat is over 10 years old & it still looks & seems to be brand new. Shipping is really great, cheap & fast. The packaging is okay. I really loved when you shipped in the flat boxes, instead of the smaller boxes. It took 2-3 days for my door mats to lay flat in the rubber door mat holder. I really thought that 3 door mats in one box with flag was a little too much for the box. Folding the matt in half was not such a good idea.
