We get our fatique mats from our linen supplier. Sure we're "renting" them which is a little more expensive than buying them, but we never have to wash them, which if you've ever done that, is a big hassle, and actually the same price if you figure paying somebody $10/hour to spend 1/2 hour or so cleaning them off. Also, our mats are very lightweight so we can move them around easily without breaking our backs.

I'm sure they can ship there easy enough. Give Rob or Kevin a call there, they will help you out. 888-895-JAVA or Lindsay as Brady mentioned.<br />

Agreed. We use them for Monin, Ghiradelli, and Big Train. They are in Georgia, but have a truck that does Charlotte on Wednesday. Friendly folks, really good prices, good selection, cheap shipping. You'll want to contact Lindsay Graves. Be sure to let them know you heard about them here.
