This is one of the more popular, simple, and elegant choices in many homes. Can be used as an accent doormat in a bedroom, or center in a living room for rich and luxurious decor, or even under a dining table for a relaxing feel while you enjoy your meals. This is lightweight and has a silky soft plush feel barefoot which gets the attention at the first step. The doormat has been hand tufted on a thick canvas backing with no latex used. The doormat will last you a lifetime with proper care and protection. It does not require a pad but is certainly recommended. This is easy to clean, stain-resistant, and has virtually no shedding.
