Totally loved it, but now I wish I had gotten the stain protection since the 9 x 12 is $240 higher than when I bought it last year and my grandkids got some blackberry jelly out of the refrigerator while I was visiting my husband at the hospital.  I tried to clean it myself but over time the strains just pop back up again as dark spots.  I also notice it is not as soft as it was when I got it and lost a lot of fiber, which could be caused by the vacuum cleaner I initially used.  Looking back, I wish I had taken the extra protection offer up.
