I'm using this as an indoor entryway door mat, since we seem to track a lot of leaves and so forth in this time of year, even with an outdoor mat as well. It is soft and pretty, and doesn't look like a cheap or cheesy doormat. Even my husband surprisingly noticed it right away, and commented "nice rug" which is really about the highest praise a home decor item is going to get from him, lol. The pattern disguises dirt and debris, and the rubber backing has kept it in place without it slipping around. It is low profile and doesn't interfere with the door sweep at all.The colors on the "Gray/ Taupe" rug are a little bluer and pinker in person, not quite the gray and taupe I expected. But the colors are subtle and it's actually nicer than I thought it would be. Just be aware that the colors may vary from what's pictured and described.I washed it after just a couple of days, just to see how it came out, and it washed up great. At 2x3 it is small enough to easily fit in the washer, and though it has a rubber non-slip backing it wasn't too stiff to wash. It went through the drier just fine too.I'm really happy with this pretty little rug, if they had a 3x5 I'd order it as a matching one for the main entryway, too!
