This was thin enough so that my door opens easily and large enough to provide sufficient room for us to take our shoes off.  It is great to catch water and keep in on the rug.  However, its a bit difficult (actually downright impossible) to vacuum up all of the debris that comes off our shoes.  My rug is too large to take out and shake.  Additionally, mine has white staining from the snow/salt that is a bit difficult to get out.
