I was so excited when I saw this, then ordered right away. First of all, it was much darker than in the  photo shown on this website. I was disappointed in that 1st. Unfortunately when this doormat got rained on, it turned very dark brown in spots and started losing fibers. I had to toss it after only 2 weeks use. I would not recommend this to anyone, if you plan on using it at a door that could possibly get any rain water whatsoever.
