I bought this floor mat because it is similar to one I had before (that I had to toss because a dog who was sprayed by a skunk had made it unusable). It isn't super thick, but if there isn't much clearance under your door, that is a virtue. I haven't had it for long, so I cannot speak to how long it will last, but I think many years. It came rolled up in a box, and, when unrolled and allowed to flatten out overnight, it was flat and without ripples. When soiled, it vacuums easily with the vacuum in carpet mode. It is rubbery plastic on the underside and around the edges. The edges are thin enough for the mat to hug the floor, and it doesn't slide easily. The mat part in the middle is curly man-made fibers and maybe 1/4" tall. There isn't much clearance for the door that swings over it, but the door does not catch on this mat. Time will tell, but I am very satisfied so far after several weeks. -- ScottI’ve only had it a month or so but it’s a decent doormat, much better than the coconut one I had shed too muchThe 2 x 3 welcome Matt that I purchased here is really nice because it is the perfect size for the front of your door, it is durable yet thin and that’s keeps dust outside when people wipe their feet on it. And for the price, it’s worth it.Bought for my mud room and it is the perfect size. Thick to capture dirt and grime and the edges do not curl up as seen in other reviews.I'm disabled and use a power wheelchair for mobility and have gone through many carpet runners over the years because of this. The carpets just can't handle the weight of the chair, it's usually the binding that goes first. The area of the floor I'm using the runner on goes from my front door to my living room and crosses in front of my kitchen so it gets crossed over a lot. The area is roughly 3' x 10'. The first couple of runners I bought were from Home Depot, the kind that are on a roll and cut to the customers specs. These were inexpensive but didn't last very long before they started to fall apart. I started looking online for a new runner and in 2014 I finally found a good-looking one at a decent price in a size that fit my needs. I bought one of these runners from Amazon (see https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008UFJT04/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but unfortunately, the thing only lasted a couple of weeks before the binding started becoming separated on both sides of the carpet. I contacted the seller who promptly sent a replacement runner but again, I had the same problem as the first. I finally found this Notrax 136 (in 3' x 10') and couldn't be happier. I've had the runner for several months and there are no signs of it coming apart anywhere and it looks like it will last for several years. It's a good-looking carpet in very well constructed, highly recommended!.So far, this is proving to be a great mat for our small business. I wanted a mat that would stay put and one that was easy to vacuum. And it is living up to my expectations!Says right in the instructions that "mat should never be stored on end. This will cause edges to curl and will void warranty."Guess my warranty is already voided? It was shipped and waiting for me on my porch "on end". Edged definitely curled up. Will be returning.EDIT (at least a year later) We left it lay flat for a bit then took my blowdryer to the edges. It definitely helped. We never returned it and actually love it. Size is great for our front entry and still hasn't looked dirty through WI winters.This is a great choice for my hallway - I have 2 cats and their fur does not show on this style gray carpet, and it is easy to vacuum. Carpet is sturdy and sits perfectly in my space.The product was of good quality. Thus the 3 star. Problem is the color is not as shown. I wanted medium brown as in Pic with brown trim. I got very dark brown with black rubber trim.Works great as a mat. Not great as anything else. It will not make breakfast for you or drive you to the store to buy smokes. Like my dad did 32 years ago. I’m still waiting for him to come back from the store. Maybe he got lostAs per description,happy with purchase
