We got this for our living room because we have 2 large dogs that shed and trek dirt in the house. So, it was important to get a rug that cleans well. So far, we have been pretty happy with it. It makes the room appear light and airy, and it is beautiful. Only complaint is it's a little scratchy and not soft or comfortable to sit on or walk barefeet on, but that's to be expected on an outdoor rug.
