This is being used in my living room.  I can't say to the durability of it, because I only put out when company is coming, due to I live out in the country and have indoor outdoor puppies and they come first.  So to protect I keep it rolled up.  It is very heavy, but not thick.  Works fine in my application without costing me $899.00 for the rug I really wanted.  For the price this is well worth every cent.
