I am quite disappointed with the Doormat. It will probably do the job, I have yet to see, but the actual appearance is not good. The edges are just raw, the colour, very dull and really this mat can only be used in 
A boot room,or country farm environment where it is only for practical use. Not for the Front Door, and not “welcoming”at all, but even so, will catch the mud or dirt well. Unfortunately, it is not machine washable.
