These are amazing. My favorite rugs. I have 3 now inside all my doors from the backyard!!

This mat is simple elegance. Not fancy elegance. Simple. This is what I want. The mat is
22-1/2 inches wide and 36 inches long. The back side is black and has small blunt nubs
about 1/8 inch apart from the others. Those little nubs appear to keep the mat from slip
sliding around. It stays where it is placed on the wood floor. I do not have carpets in
my home so am unsure if they will stay anchored.I purchased the Dark Brown 'Diamond'
Anderson 221 Waterhog mat.

It appears well made, does not reek of any 'poly' smell (even right out of the box) and
flattens within a minute when rolled out on the floor. The mat top has grooves that are
about 1/4 inch deep to catch ice and snow from your boots. I am not sure what (or
where) the 'designer fabric border' is on this mat. It is simply made of what the rest of
the mat is made out of...somebody got mighty creative in the marketing department.
Maybe it is an option at another outlet. All the photos I've seen are with plain borders.

I like this mat and will buy another based on its performance already. We have had three
winter snow storms since I bought this mat and it is big enough, at the back door, to
help keep the ice and snow right there. I also use the mat to temporarily store those
snow boots until they have dried off. The "Water Dam" seems to do its job.

The mat does seem to dry quickly as is advertised. Also, we use sand and salt and there
has not been any degradation of the mat. So far. The fabric has not crushed down at all
and this entrance is used the most in the winter. It has weathered traffic, as well as the
ice and snow, very well.

I have to say for the price point this is a very good sized mat with deep channels and has
been put through its paces in the last two weeks of winter storms. I will give this mat 5
stars because it been effective at keeping snow, ice, and water from being tracked into
my home and not spilling over onto the floor.

NOTE: 05/2015; This mat is still going strong. No breaking down, cracking, sliding, or
leaking. Definitely would still recommend this mat.

UPDATE: 09/2018; This mat is a wonder of durability. After 4 New England winters it
still stays in place, is not falling apart and still holds the water in the channels. I love this
mat.

It is everything the description said it would be.

It just arrive and I am very pleased. It is the color and kind of mat I needed for this high traffic area. I am happy because I ordered it on Monday and it arrived on Friday and it is custom made to order. I hope I have as many years with it as others have. Great customer service too as I initiated a chat with questions and in minutes they responded.

Competes very well w my much more expensive water hog Mat from LL bean
