The rug is nice looking. The pile is thick, but it doesn't interfere with opening my door. I would have rate the rug higher, except that the colors are not as they appear on the online product picture. The rug online looks like a yellow and blue rug. My rug is more cream-colored than yellow and more gray than blue. It still looks nice and it works for my front entryway. Other reviewers also noted the color differences, so I was expecting the rug to look a little different from the online picture. The colors are very muted.  It still is a beautiful rug and I am very happy with it.
