I can’t believe how nice this is.
I am really surprised at the quality. I paid $35 for this in the 3x5 size. It’s worth way more imo. I bought it for my entry way. I’m living in a rental and the quality of the “wood” flooring (actually crappy mdf or pressed cardboard, like theee worst flooring material you could imagine) in my house is awful. I bought a huge area rug for my living area to cover the crappy floor but I have two dogs, 3 kids and a construction working husband constantly in and out. I didn’t want my new beautiful rug to get destroyed, and trust me, if you could only see the amount of dirt they track into this house!! It’s insane! I needed something durable and able to trap dirt etc to stop it from getting tracked further into the house and onto to my beautiful new area rug. The first rug I bought for the entryway was beautiful.. at least on the Amazon listing. Big blue monstera leaves for the pattern, advertised as an entry rug, among all the other uses. I was really disappointed when I opened it. If you look at my Amazon profile, you’ll find the reviews of that rug (and of the new area rug) to see for yourself. The pattern was printed onto the top of what was a very flimsy, albeit soft, nonskid rug like something you would only use for staging or decor. That rug cost me over $40 3x5. I immediately went back on Amazon and ordered this. It came securely packaged in a roll, wrapped in plastic, taped, wrapped tightly in more plastic, and taped again. I was very happy to see how it was shipped because I’ve ordered rugs before that came shipped in a roll with no plastic protection, like literally just slapped the shipping label right on the rug.I unrolled it and the end was curled which is expected. I walked away to find something to find something heavy to set on it to help flatten it and by the time I came back it was completely flat lol.It is rough on the feet which is exactly what I was looking for to help trap the dirt. It doesn’t hurt and it isn’t unpleasant to be barefoot on. It is real natural material and extremely well made with a thick fabric material securely sewn on the outside border. I am so pleased with it that I ordered a second one and the same size so I can set one in front of the entry for my garage door where I keep the cats litter box. I have been looking for a litter box mat and realized this couldn’t be any more perfect for that purpose, and is literally lightyears better (and cheaper) than litter box mats of the same size. I am going to buy a third for right outside my front door too, and may buy a runner to go under patio furniture I have under the awning on the narrow walkway in front of my house.It’s beautiful and extremely well made.
