I received this product in exchange for an honest review. I have struggled with what I call a “bath mat” my whole life. The fuzzy ones with a rubbery backing are useless, as they disintegrate in the wash. Then I moved to the kind with clear silicone on the back to keep them from moving around, but that stuff also stops working when you wash it. I have finally learned that there is no such thing as a rug for your bathroom that stays put and is easy to clean. If you have yet to reach this level of enlightenment, I wish you luck on your journey, but just know that what you really need is something like this. You won’t want to leave this on the ground permanently. That’s not what this is for. It’s not a rug. It’s a mat. It’s for drying off on after your shower, and when you’re finished, it’s light enough to hang over the side of the tub or the shower to quickly dry. This particular one has a lot going for it. It’s super crazy soft. I have washed and dried it several times now and it just seems to be getting softer. It’s a very attractive design. Almost masculine in its striped simplicity. It’s reversible. (One caveat about that is that the darker side, which I prefer, is the side that shows the seam and the tags, so it’s kind of obvious that the lighter side is really the side that’s meant to be seen.) It’s generously sized and it dries quickly. My only complaint is that on one side, the stitching is quite careless. Pieces of the terry cloth loops are caught up in the stitch, and the stitch itself is very crooked. If this was a ten dollar bargain store mat, I would expect this, but for a product priced at this level, there should be stricter quality control. Other than that, this bath mat works well, feels nice, and looks good in my bathroom, so I would still recommend. Read Less
