I use this rug in my mudroom because it's resilient and easy to clean. It has survived a winter of wet muddy boots and snow gear with little issue. The only problem is that the rug itself feels rather plasticky and thin on bare feet. I wouldn't recommend this for somewhere that you don't wear shoes. But for a place that you'd like to spruce up and have a resilient rug that take a beating and clean easily, it works well.
