I ordered two of these doormats and they are excellent quality and do not shed. The rubber backing will add to their longevity and they look very elegant and minimalist by the doors.

Perfection

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Love the organific 'not perfect' shape of the vase. I was hoping for maybe a little larger but am going to elevate it on a travertine plinth.. Perfect!
