Not elegant but great for high traffic areas-perfect for entryway or mudroom- never seems to show any dirt at all- muddy work boots are no challenge for this rug-no need to even vacuum- just sweep with a broom! 
 Have it in my entryway and as a runner in my foyer- great for the money- couldn't be happier!  Do need to use rug grips or it will slide around a bit.
