I ordered this rug for my front entrance, a bit hesitant to add that much color but feeling the area did need some, as well as needing something to catch the outdoor dirt before everyone entered the house. I also needed something a big larger than 2x3 so this rugged entrance didn't feel so confining. So, I got a somewhat larger size and have to say it turned out perfectly on the practical level plus ties in nicely aesthetically with my entrance and adjacent rooms. I am using a pad and this seems to have controlled the rolling edges more than what might otherwise have happened because the corners were rolling defiantly when I first put the rug down but they calmed down relatively quickly. So, I'm very happy with the purchase and it does the job nicely, as I'd hoped.
