Large Brush Grommet

I think having a 1 1/2" - 2" gap running along the back would be much
more attractive then that brush stuff. You could put a small piece of
edging that is proud of the top by 1/4" to keep pencils, etc. from
rolling off.

There is a brush type floor sweep weather stripping that is used to
seal the bottom of doors. The link below is to a .PDF catalog (upper
right hand area) by the K. N. Crowder company who is one of the
manufactures of this type of product. Look at items W-24S, W-33S and
W-24S on page 19 of the .PDF file.
