I have been looking for a hall/entryway rug for some time now.  I could never quite find the right one in the right size.  I came across this one and because of the reviews I was a little hesitant.  Because it is the only rug in the house I didn't want it to be unpleasant to walk on (one review stated that because it is jute it might feel a little course).  On the contrary I find that it actually feels soft for its material and I enjoy it very much. It does not feel rough on my feet and they are a bit sensitive.
