This is a nice rug.  It actually wasn't my first choice, but I've come to really like it.  I originally bought another rug that ended up being too high of a pile for where I needed it.  The nearby closet door couldn't open over it, so I had to try again.  But this was a nice substitute!  It hides dirt and dust from shoes well.  I use it in the entryway from my garage to the house, basically where everyone walks in with their shoes still on to pop them off before coming in the rest of the house.  This fits the bill and has a nice design.
