This is a HUGE - 9 foot x 10 foot - gorgeous pink flamingo beach "blanket" / mat. It comes with four plastic stakes and loops sewn into the corners to help hold it in place at the beach. There are also built-in corner pockets that you can fill with sand and/or place rocks in to help hold it in place as well. And, when you're done using it, just fold and roll it up and carry it home in the included pink nylon drawstring bag. The smooth nylon fabric doesn't hold sand, so you can easily shake it off and leave it at the beach rather than take the sand home with you. You could also use this as a sun shade to keep you a bit cooler. Or, you could hang it on a large wall to create a beachy atmosphere. It is machine washable. It has never been used, but it was unfolded to look at. It comes from a non-smoking, but cat-friendly home. Due to the static-y nature of nylon, there are bound to be a few stray cat hairs that clung to it as I was folding it back up. The cats have NEVER actually been on it though. NOTE: It's hard to get a good photo of it, so the ones shown here are stock photos. But, they show exactly what the item looks like. Please ask any questions. Also, this would go great with some of the other flamingo items I have for sale. Bundle and save some money!
