This is an attractive mat for what it is and I was excited to choose it to place at the entry of my first home I had just moved into. The positive reviews were promising. Unfortunately, the first rain that came resulted in it completely staining my entire stone entryway and staircase - a horrible brown stain pooling and running down the stairs that I have not yet been able to remove. This did not work out well at all and I do no recommend unless you need a housewarming gift for your worst enemy.
