This rug was beautiful and soft when it arrived.  I read several reviews that claimed it stayed bright and clean even with pets and children.  That was not the case.  I have had my rug out for 2 months and it looks like it is several years old.  It does not resist stains and I got tired of fighting the dog to move away and teenagers to stay off with shoes.  This is NOT a family friendly or pet friendly rug.  I am thoroughly disappointed in my purchase.
