Absolutely worth the money.  This is a great quality area rug.  I used it for a section of the floor right in front of the entry way door.  It works perfectly.  Not too tall, so it doesn't interfere with the door opening and closing.  It is exactly what I was looking for.  Tip: For anyone one who winds up purchasing this...  Open it immediately and reverse roll it.  It will be rolled with the bottom side facing out.  Reverse that.  Otherwise you'll be waiting forever for the corners to finally stop sticking straight up in the air.  Leave it like this for a day or two then you should be good to go.  As you can see in the photo, I skipped doing that with this one and have corner issues because I'm too lazy to take it up and fix it.  The reverse rolling technique has worked great with my other rugs.
