We've been really happy with it. We've had the same piece on our balcony for 6 years now and we've fluffed it up a few times but it works great. Our balcony can get hot during the summer, so having the grass makes it much more comfortable for bare feet. <br /><br />If you'd considering it, figure out how much you need and then check Craigslist regularly. The size we needed was small enough that we could just use a remnant from someone's larger landscaping job and it was super cheap to get it that way.
