So I purchased this for my entry way...but ended up placing on my couch to protect from my dogs instead.   It looks much less conspicuous than a sofa cover and adds an eclectic touch to the room.  As a rug on hardwood floors it slipped...so if I go back to using as a rug I will need to purchase a heavy duty pad that I can trim choose the shape. Otherwise I think it would be frustrating in the entryway.
