Ok, there is no denying that this rug is gorgeous. It looks great in our living room! However, its functionality is what warranted a semi low rating. The texture (which is part of its beauty) feels bumpy under your feet or if you happen to be sitting on the floor. We had the misfortune of a dog vomit incident, which was incredibly hard to clean up. As I was scrubbing I noticed the rug becoming frayed and I had to be super delicate. Within a week, we also noticed a few of the little white bumps coming loose and sticking up higher than the others. One positive in addition to its looks is that my robot vacuum can easily run over it, which I was a little unsure about at first. Overall, I’m really glad I bought this when it was on sale and I don’t recommend it for pet owners. But it’s so pretty!
