I love the look of it; it's simple, contemporary and I really like the longer size. I am reserving a star because the doormat will be saved to be used until spring. I'm hoping that with ample space to wipe feet on either side of the "HELLO" design in the center, maybe the color/pattern will not wear off as quickly as the last few with all-over colorful designs I've purchased that, sadly, haven't lasted past one season.
