I ordered the doormat with black letters and it looks great on my front porch. I wanted a mat that reflected a bit of style and was at least the width of my front door—this one is exactly the width of my door. It arrived with a small tear along the bottom edge, that goes through to the rubber backing (most likely occurred during shipping), but I don't think it's noticeable enough. The mat is shedding, but seems to be less than other mats I've purchased. Overall, I'm pleased.
