This rug is absolutely awesome. It does its job superbly and it is tough and durable. I waited 15 months to write this review so I can comment on how well it handles the elements. This rug still looks the same as day one. Just amazing. I have it outside my backdoor and it stops almost all dirt and mud my kids drag inside. The bristles do an amazing job of catching all the dirt off your feet or shoes and cleanup is easy since all dirt fall through to the ground. All you need to do is lift up and sweep. I expect this rug to last several years which is a relief given all the previous rugs I've owned did not last more than a year or so. I highly recommend this product, the high price point is worth it.
