I love the colors, softness and look of this rug in our great room. However, we have only had it for couple months and it has started showing some wear and fading in one area in front of our sectional sofa. We do not wear our shoes in our home. I had to purchase 2 smaller rugs (same pattern) to protect this area where our feet are when we sit. I am disappointed in the quality and more importantly durability of this rug.
