These serve there purpose for us. They are in the mudroom and garage entry of our farm house. Lots of mud, soil and gravel makes it’s way in from outside so we needed something fairly inexpensive and durable. These aren’t plush but it’s better that they aren’t for what our purpose is. The black obviously shows dirt quicker than other colours but for us it’s a good reminder that it’s time to vacuum them before too much makes it’s way further into the house on socks!
