I knew when I made the purchase that this rug wasn't going to have a lot of weight to it, which it doesn't.  I just needed something for the heavier trafficking areas through the wet/muddy season to keep the grime off the main carpets.  It works well for that.  It's pretty much as expected and I'd say I'm getting my monies worth out of it.  Just don't expect high end heavy weight and you won't be disappointed.
