Using this indoor/outdoor rug in our live room because it’s what works for our family! Out in the country, toddler, baby on the way, and long haired Labrador. Doesn’t have a pile so it’s not your typical living room rug. Again, it’s what works for us. If you’re wanting a thicker rug this isn’t for you. If you have a toddler with crumbs, a long haired dog who carries in dirt, and shoe traffic... I recommend this!
