Extremely well made, thick and cushiony when you step on it.  Of course this material is rough to your feet but that's what makes it perfect for use as a door mat.  If your floor is hard (we have wood flooring) it does move around quite a bit so it needs a rug pad to prevent this.  Also be aware that this rug is very thick and may not work for every door-for example, we attempted to use it for our front entry but the thickness of the rug prevented us from being able to open our door.   We switched it to our back outward opening door and it works and looks perfect there.  Also it does smell a bit at first but it doesn't project very far and dispersed quickly.  We consider this another great Wayfair purchase.
