The best of both worlds! The durability of heavy duty rubber were you need it most with the elegance of carpeting. The molded heel area stands up to years of abuse. The durable plush carpet looks great. The strategically designed rubber edge is trimmable with ordinary scissors for a custom fit. Heavy nibbed backing holds the mat securely in place. This four-piece set from Rubber Queen, the leader in automotive mats and accessories, will protect your cars interior for many years to come.

A great value for the money
These mats are high quality, thicker than my previous mats, and don't suffer from that cheap rubber smell that can stink up your car. The carpet and rubber design is a good compromise between aesthetics and protection of your car flooring from dirt and salt. I had to trim these mats to fit my Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo -- this is made easier by gently pulling apart the rubber as you are cutting. If you do this, the rubber will easily come apart at the defined seams without much effort.The packaging, on the other hand, does require some effort to take apart, which is not uncommon for products like this. Resist the temptation to rip the mats apart from each other -- they are held together with thick industrial staples, and you could damage your mats. First, remove the outer cardboard packaging by snipping the plastic ties. Then, with a set of pliers, straighten the tooth ends of the staples. Once all the staples are straightened, you can more easily pull the staples out from the other end. Alternatively, you can shimmy one mat at a time off the straightened staples. Do this, and you'll avoid tearing apart your mats.Overall, I would definitely recommend these mats. They are a good deal for the $26.99 that I paid.

Good mats - NO ODOR!
I bought these with trepidation for $20 at the Friday Sale. Nobody wants stink in their car - especially when it's cold outside and the windows have to stay up!However, I was delighted when these arrived. There was NO ODOR (they were NOT stored/shipped in plastic as some have said), and the mats are a nice heavy weight and good design. The center of the front mats are a flexible plastic/rubber with grooves to catch the snowmelt and grit from your shoes. At the very top is a nice carpet trim and of course the bottom section also has a felt-like grey carpet.The main difference between these mats and the Kraco ones that I had purchased at Wally world, was that these mats (esp in front) are narrower (overall dimensions: Left is 19 x 27 and RT is only 17in x 27). The grey felt carpet is also thicker than the Kraco and these also cost less :^) The size is perfect in my prius and the lighter grey carpet color is preferable with the light grey interior of my car. Mat edge can be readily trimmed to fit as the outer inch or two is just the flexible plastic material.Try them, I think you'll like them. They are definitely worth the money.

They Do What They Are Designed For
I am satisfied with this purchase. I am sure if I roamed through store after store - I could have found something a little nicer for a little less money - but these are more than adequate. Never heard of Rubber Queen before - and probably never will again. There was no smell. I like having a little carpet - rather than all rubber. But you have to know, it isn't like the carpet on the floor of my car (a Camry.) It is kind of fuzzy stuff made to look like a carpet. Let's face it - they are made as well as anything else these days. These fit fine - I only had to trim a little away on the driver's side since my trunk release is on the floor.Actually - I thought they would be too big but if anything, they could be a tad larger. I do like having the rubber because that is capturing a lot of the dirt and is easy to clean. They appear to be more of a camel color in the pictures but in person, the have more khaki overtones. They arrived quickly and my only regret is not getting them sooner. If you need floor mats, this is a decent choice.

Very high quality and a terrific value
These mats are pretty much what everyone else here has said that they are. I was astounded at how thick and heavy they are - far more substantial than the hilariously overpriced cocktail napkins that pass for OEM floor mats in my 2007 Honda Fit (thankfully I got the dealer to throw them into the deal). I just snipped away the excess along the tracks Rubbermaid provides and that was it.One thing I have to say, though, is that the person who commented on the strong smell is spot on. It definitely adds some, shall we say, fragrant ambience to my car. It's not an unpleasant smell, but it's rather strong and I have the urge to open the windows more frequently now. I got one of those little trees you hang from the rear view mirror and that seems to have solved the problem. And, of course, the smell will undoubtedly fade as the mats age and the car is aired out over time.The super low price is no doubt due to the fact that, as usual, this product is made in China, so if you're a person who tries to avoid that situation with your household products because of the labor situation over there, you might want to forego these. Other than that, highly recommended.UPDATE [12-31-10]: Three years on and the mats are still rockin'. The driver's side mat, of course, has taken almost all of the beating, but is still perfectly useable. By the way, the strong odor discussed above did, in fact, fade away permanently after a week or so.UPDATE II [01-30-12]: A little over four years on and the mats are STILL ROCKIN'! 3 of the 4 are in pristine shape (OK, I admit it, I'm alone when I drive about 80% of the time) and the driver's side mat is still hanging in there, but it's got a couple of seriously awesome worn spots where my heel digs in in front of the accelerator. I move the mat around to rotate where my heel presses against the mat and that has helped in terms of longevity. I'll probably cry uncle and get another set after the winter is over, and at that point we're talking about almost five years/70,000 miles of seven-day-a-week driving. I'd say I will have gotten my $26 worth.UPDATE III [03-23-13]: R.I.P., Rubber Queen floor mats (2007-2013). After 5 1/2 years & 82,000+ miles of day in, day out, faithful service, it's finally time to replace you with......another set of Rubber Queen 70514 Rubber Bordered Carpeted 4 Piece Floor Mats. :-) Actually it's only the driver's side mat that needs to be replaced. The other three basically look like the day they arrived.
