This rug has held up well. We've had it a few months and it's seen a lot of foot traffic from people and dogs. It serves as the gateway to our yard/pool and living room and it does its job well. I've also seen minimal fading, but it is a covered porch so I'm sure that helps. It does show ever speck of dog hair, but vacuums easily enough. No complaints, great value and quite stunning (when clean) against our grey/white porch.
