I've been using this rug for a couple weeks and like it even more now than in the beginning. Usually by now, I know if it's bad quality because one of the cats will snag it, and it's all downhill from there. The way this rug is woven, my cats nails have not been a problem. The pattern and colors are also beautiful, and it is a great addition to my music room. It was shipped well, so it came in perfect shape, and it doesn't slide around with the mat type thing on the bottom. I've tried it out on hard floors, as well as carpets. I would definitely suggest giving these rugs a try!
