What I had expected
The rug is inexpensive and I expected it to reflect that fact when it arrived. It sits well at the entry and does its job; it is sufficiently mottled so that it won't show what shoes will deposit on it at entry. The colors are harmonious and work well in an understated way. This is not a bright rug but it holds interest. The pad holds it in place and it is all well EXCEPT for one thing: the white fringes. They scream at you and they are totally out of tune with the otherwise pleasant rug. I don't think it can be removed without ruining the rug altogether and therefore in the summer I will soak the finges in concentrated tea and let the sun dry it all. If the tea does not work well enough I will try coffee. The contrast between the white of the fringe and the mellowness of the rug itself is rather disturbing.
