I've had the hardest time finding sturdy, quality doormats that are well designed and don't cost a fortune. We're particularly hard on our doormats because of the horrible Utah winters and going back and forth with our snow-covered boots, so we usually have to replace them every other season. I found this cute one at Target (I cannot find a link to it on their website), and since it was under twenty bucks I bought two and now have one at both the front and back doors. If you want to see some horrifying design, do a Google search on "doormat" and just watch as the jaunty pigs and the bow-tied ducks and the fish with thought bubbles floating over their heads come flying at you.
