I havent used these for a while but they were very well packaged, came promptly, and they did smell wonderful after airing out in our room for a day. I wont know until some time has passed on the quality and craftsmanship but from an initial look over and examination they seemed very solid. Pretty happy with my purchase and I hope the mats bring much joy and good conversation in the future.
