Banksy Welcome Mat, by chichi carter on Sept 15, 2020 4:13:14 GMT 1, I just worry about those two stitches at the top bearing all the weight of the mat and stretching out the mat weave in those areas. There are three stitches at the top, and two at the bottom. And you don't need to worry about anything, it's not your mat! All kidding aside, I hear you. The 'in and out' of the stitches are 3/4'' apart. I tried to make them wide enough to dissipate the stress but not too wide so that I had to make my way through too much fibre at the front. And I went in and out twice, doubling the thread. It's been up for a couple of days and it looks fine so far.

I think this is too small. Might be wrong but you may have mistaken your height, width and depth. Height is how tall the table is no? Which means the external dimensions of the cabinet sitting atop are 61 X 40.

I think this one is too small too. By the time you've accounted for the webbing the internal size of the cabinet needs to be at least 80cm x 60cm (35" x 24"). Most furniture will be measured using external dimensions.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by sufsean on Sept 15, 2020 15:31:58 GMT 1, i must say that this thread is great and it's making me want to get one of these mats.
question: I know there's a bunch on the bay...but wondering how much should i expect to pay for one of these realistically? and what should I look for to make sure I'm not getting a fake?
Also--if anyone on here is selling, let me know. Thanks again!

Thanks, I wasn't suggesting it wouldn't work, but since I have a mat that I'm looking to mount similarly, how it's mounted is on my mind. Personally I'm thinking about doing some kind of zig zag pattern along the entire top, but frankly I don't really know. Let us know if you notice any problems with your mount!

If there is no perspex protection under the grill it be ruined. If people scrape their feet on it like any other door mat/grill it will be full of dirt and moisture in no time.
As you say Duffer high heels will ruin it regardless of perspex or not.
Edit: just saw previous post that it could be set in perspex, the view of the mat will be even more restricted over time with the wear of the perspex.
Saying that I think it is another unique example of how people are displaying a mat which is great to see.

That’s the problem- certain footwear destroys everything. Even if it’s prespex it needs to be bullet proof to take the force and weight. Mines on the wall.

This genuinely made me laugh. So incredibly immature but I think that’s what I liked so much about it. ‘Fattie’ - ha!

Laminated glass. A bit slippery if there’s humidity, but difficult to scratch It was my idea always. On its place, but protected (and with no grill at all)
