Coir doormats are hand-painted, having their own uniqueness & slight imperfections, making them each an original. I use acrylic based paint & do my best to preserve the life of the design by using a spray sealant. To extend the life of the mat be sure to protect from extreme weather conditions & direct sunlight. Note: I do not make the coir mat. I purchase them directly from a distributor. Shipping Fees are the actual costs charges by the USPS with my Etsy shop discount.
