I missed out several times on ordering one of these and unfortunately I lucked out this last time. It is so cheaply made. Luckily I only paid $29.68, but that was $29.68 too much. It is very thin, not a smooth material to sit or lie on at the beach. Guess I can use it to put my beach bag and cooler on it so they won't get sand on the bottom. I have ordered several items before, but this one was very disappointing. Jill you really need to not push an item as a good deal with such poor quality.
