We have this in our entry along with the matching runner. We like it so much that we bought another for our door by our garage. It hides dirt and can be cleaned easily. We were doing a ton a remodeling when it came, and I put it down before we were entirely finished and it did great even though we had contractors in and out. Also, if you get the rubbery under-rug thing, it evens out the rug (it is folded under on each side). Love it!
