I bought five of these rugs, had they not been on sale I wouldn't have purchased them especially now that I have seen them. They are already coming unraveled and will not use them in the mud room because it won't matter. I waS going to use them as gifts but would be too embarrassed too now.
The rug is neat and durable. I will need some adhesive backing to keep the dog from sliding on it. It really says welcome, with a warning, "there is a dog here."
