Positives: great color (I ordered the taupe), they're very soft and my toes appreciate that very much, and sizes are practical. Negatives: there is absolutely no 'non-slip' grip or surface on the back of either rug, they don't absorb water as quickly as I would like, and the edges are rough and not finished well in places. I have a rather rustic themed bathroom so I was willing to accept the rough edges. The biggest disappointment for me is the complete lack of a non-slip bottom, on smooth shiny bathroom tile it's honestly a bit dangerous because they are so soft and slide easily.
