I love this bath mat.  My previous bath mat was light colored and looked dirty all the time.   My shower door leaks when I open it after taking a shower and gets the mat wet.  My old mat would still be wet the next morning. Because of these problems, I wanted a dark color to hide dirt and a mat that dries quickly.  The color matches my bathroom counter tops and I love the anchor pattern on it.  It matches perfectly with the two anchor  hooks I have in the bathroom. It is very soft to the touch and has cushion to it when you step on it.  It dries out quickly.  Both problems solved.  I am also very pleased with the price.  It was probably less than half the price I would have spent on the nice picture yarn rugs that I looked at.  While it is smaller than my old bath mat, it is big enough to soak up the water from my shower door so it is big enough for me.
