(notice the large barcode on the package, you won’t end up waiting for a price check) It measures 30 by 18 inches as you can see in my photo. This size centers nicely on the door, between garage and house, where there's usually a lot of foot traffic. The height does not interfere with opening and closing of the door. The mat is flatter at the edge and thicker at the center. I would describe the edge of the mat as an inwardly slanted frame, that I think serves two purposes. First, I think it makes it less likely to catch your toe on the mat. Second it creates a tray in the center of the mat that will trap water, mud, and snow as people come in through the door.
I’m not sure of the exact composition. I would describe as a non-skid rubber material. The one I have is black. There is a pebble like pattern on the backside, that I’m assuming will help with circulation and drying of the underside. The upper surface inside the framed edge is the business area, a nubby surface that does double duty to catch water and debris and scrape off the bottom of a shoe as it passes over the nubs. The nubs are spaced about three to the inch. The nubs themselves are a thick cone shape that should hold up well to foot traffic.
One final nice feature to note is the weight. This has the right balance between maneuverability and durability. It’s not so heavy as to be difficult to move around, but heavy enough to stand up to daily use and stay looking nice.
