Kempf Go Away Doormat, 16 by 27 by 1-Inch, Funny Entrance Mat, Natural Coco Coir Fiber, No Rubber Backing

I purchased this doormat 7 years ago. It sends a clear message, as it is easy to read. For the last 7 years, this doormat has given me daily, endless amounts of happiness each time I enter my home, particularly knowing any unwanted visitors don't even need to knock to know my expectations of them. You know, just go away. The joy I have received has been priceless, even though this doormat has finally worn out. It has survived several moves, delivery drivers trying to hide large boxes under it, and many busy halloweens of trick-or-treaters (I'm guessing they just can't read yet). After many years of hard work, the material is pulling out of itself and slowly gets closer to its impending replacement, which I intend on doing.

Great product. As described.

I luv these mats.

I purchased this mat in 2012 (according to Amazon) and as of today, six years later, it is still at my front door and still entirely effective in making people laugh (albeit far less effective in encouraging them to actually go away). In 6 years, it has been perpetually rained on, survived several hurricanes, been frozen, and generally abused in every way a doormat can be. It is now a bit rough around the edges; however, it is still clearly legible, isn’t really falling apart at all despite some minor fraying on the corners, and probably one of the longest lasting, cheapest purchases I’ve ever made. This mat is a terrific value for the cost. Six years ago I would have assumed that by this age in life I would be into a more polite “welcome” mat…nah, I’m going to re-order this one again and re-assess sometime by 2024

NO, I DID NOT BUY THIS AS A JOKE. AS A DAY SLEEPER, I REALLY DO WANT PEOPLE TO GO AWAY & LEAVE ME ALONE (EXCEPT FOR THE DELIVERY GUY WITH A PACKAGE). I HAVE HAD THIS 2 FULL YEARS & ALTHOUGH IT IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF WEAR, IT IS STILL QUITE USABLE. BUT IF YOU HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD INCLUDING A BROOD OF KIDS STOMPING AROUND, YOU MIGHT GET LESS WEAR FROM THIS. UPDATE 2014: I STILL HAVE THIS & IT HAS WORN WELL, BUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD COTTONWOOD TREES SURE MAKE A MESS ON IT.

The first time I caught a glimpse of this "welcome" mat on Amazon, I knew I HAD to have it. Not being much of a people person (I like animals infinitely better), and an introvert, but an elementary school teacher that has to "people" 5 days a week, I figured that at least at my door, people could stand to be told how I really feel about them. So, in my Amazon shopping cart this went, and to my door a handful of days later. Since that first day, it's been outside (albeit covered by my porch overhang) at my door step ever since, through hurricanes, snow, windy and rainy weather and the like. I didn't even realize that I've had it now for seven years! But there it is, and the color of the lettering hasn't faded noticeably, and the mat looks no more worse for wear than it did after my first year of use. It's held up REMARKABLY well, and my unwelcoming message remains clear as a bell for anyone that dares darken my doorstep. Those that know me well know that I'm actually pretty safe to approach, but no one else needs to know that, so if you want some extra protection for your sanity and privacy, get this mat! It'll give all those annoyingly nosy neighbors and unwanted solicitors pause before they dare knock on your door and infringe on your peaceful hidey-hole's doorstep. Leave them with no question about what you REALLY want from them. Get this mat!

This bloody thing... Doesn't work at all. . We just moved into our new home. Boxes everywhere, labeled... But no sign of our old Doormat. So I ordered this one. Every evening I sat on the couch, knowing there was no doormat.. trying to watch TV but listening for the inevitable nock at the door. 2 days.. 3 days.. 4days.. The tension was incredible by the 5th day. I sat on the edge of the couch waiting.. for that nock.. that sales guy..... Finally the doormat arrived and I could place it happily and relax. The feeling of relief knowing Im safe from "people" now I have my official "Go Away" door mat in place. Not 24 hours later I get Mormons... MORMONS! Bloody Mormons.. 5 days without a single visitor. Within 24 hours of placing my fresh new doormat down I get Mormons at my door. I can only conclude this mat actually attracts them?. After a lengthy conversation, which at no point brought up the subject of my Door Mat.. they left. I examined the door mat incase I had inadvertently placed it upside down, or the wrong way around. But no. Facing the door from outside it clearly reads "Go Away". Shaken and dizzy I spent the next few days trying to forget the horrendous assault on my knocker.. 3 days passed and I was stirred from my couch-dwelling repose once again by a serious banging of my door. Expecting to see a 6 foot gorilla on the other side of the door I was surprised to see two small children clutching a catalogue for cookies. Again, the Doormat failed me! Damn this doormat!? $20 of cookies I had to order. The whole time Im gesturing downwards towards the mat.. Hoping they would look, and understand..... But they did not, they continued, big doey eye starting through my soul, clutching the cookie catalogue like their life depended on it. I assume the children left thinking I just had a nervous tick. . A few days later I ordered a Pizza online. I can only imagine slowly dying of starvation wondering why the Pizza guy never knocked... Happily, the pizza guy also ignores the doormat.

I found the statement humorous and purchased this. I wanted to replace the "Wipe your PAWS" mat we had for years purchased at Walmart or some store like that. The quality of the mat is horrible. It is used in an inside mudroom, so it will not be outdoors at all, but I don't see this lasting long. The 1st mat we had was much cheaper and the quality was excellent. I would never purchase this mat if I saw it in a store. In a store you could check the quality. It is funny and I don't want the hassle of returning it, but don't purchase it. The quality is horrid, it has no backing!!!!!!
