Love my new rug and so does Dac my Dachshund puppy. I have to buy carpets that can and. take the abuse. They run outside all  the time and they track in dirt and sand so it matters what kind of carpet I buy. This carpet is spot free and they it rolled out very easy. I purchased a rug pad to go underneath so it doesn’t slide. This is a stunning dark brown rug with a very sharp cream band all around the rug. It is a little thinner than I expected, but once I unrolled the rug I was pleased to see how well it laid flat right from the start. This is such an amazing buy.
