I bought this as an inexpensive hallway rug in 5m length to protect the new carpet in my flat in an area that has the most footfall and wear. It is more than adequate for this purpose with the modern grey patterned finish complementing the fitted carpet underneath fairly well and conveniently fitting the width of the hallway almost exactly. However, I would add that whilst this rug has a suitable degree of bounce which feels nice under foot, it is not a premium quality item. The pile is OK but not particularly thick or that soft to touch but for the price it represents good value as a practical item that looks acceptable and will serve its purpose well.
