We love this rug. For the price I paid for it I think the quality of it is great. I do have a non-slip pad underneath which really makes a difference in the softness of it under your feet. We have a 7 month old puppy and a cat and so far it is holding up really well with claws and playtime. My only complaint was when it was delivered that the packaging ripped and exposed parts of the edges, but once we laid it out it was not noticeable as the rug was rolled to protect the top.
