There have been discussions on the quality of products from Murphys declining. I have yet to see
this for myself. I have ordered cups and balls, and this close up mat. Both had exceedingly high
quality in terms of shipping (0 damage), Quality (Cups were well wrapped and the mat is plush
without pilling) Now its not heirloom quality by any means but for what I paid, I'd say Penguin and
Murphy's is well above most!
