This is a great rug. It looks as nice as some rugs I looked at that cost $1200-$1500. My dog also had an upset stomach and big accident on it (#2) about a week after it was delivered (go figure) and after some work with the Bissell and Nature's Miracle I was able to completely remove the stain and the smell. What I am most impressed with is the the rug held up to this vigorous cleaning with no piling, loose fibers, or damage at all. I thought you would be able to tell where the rug had been shampooed but you cannot at all and it looks perfect. I can't recommend this rug enough. More than worth the price.
