Some things are just meant to do a mundane job. They're not lavish or impressive or stylish or costly. They just work. This is one such item. I needed a contour rug for a small half-bath off the family room - not a "set" of bath and contour rugs (which is apparently how 99% of these are sold now). My local searches in stores came up with nothing, so I was happy to find this rug on Amazon. House Beautiful won't be sending any photographers out to record the transformation the rug has made in the little half-bath, nor will neighbors be lining up for a peek. The rug is what I needed, and it works as it should, fitting around the forward end of the toilet base. And that's that!
