These were just what I expected. I love the natural weave. I purchased 2 basically 2'x4' for my entryway and another just in front of my french doors leading to my outside deck and they look great. I read a few other reviews and people seem to be disappointed that they were not totally flat. They do have texture and they are rough. But I really like them. I'm going to order a runner for my hallway. Hint to anyone with cats, they will like to scratch these.
