I bought this as an entryway rug, and I am OK with the purchase.  Based on previous reviews, I did not expect it to be plush, and it is not. It reads much lighter than I expected from the photos; from far away, it looks cream, rather than beige.  I think it is a tad overpriced, even on sale, but I kept it, because it is better than the little mat I had in the space before.
