I am using this as a table runner for a table scape and not as a door mat.  It is just over the top for quality, thick and soft with nicely sewn edges, not chintzy and thin like others I have gotten. We have a black table and I am using it for Thanksgiving and layering other table scape items over it.  It is not long like a table runner so it fits great in the center of my giant dining room table.  I've included a few photos of it so you can see how great it looks!  I'm super pleased with it AND how FAST it arrived!
