I was very satisfied with these door mats. They're thick enough to be effective but not so thick that the door catches on them. They extend farther than you'd think a half-oval rug would but still fit nicely in the doorway. Mine are dark brown but the pattern still comes through and looks great. I looked locally but these were better than anything I could find in a store. One nice thing about these that I have not always experienced buying rugs online is that these unrolled and stayed flat immediately. You didn't have to weight the corners down or any of that nonsense. These also stay in place nicely - so far no skidding or moving. A good purchase!
