I purchased this rug in the runner size. The pattern is perfect to hide the traffic this gets from being in an entry hallway. It lays flat and stays put with a rug pad underneath. It is a little scratchy, but it is mostly wool, and that makes it good for catching any debris that might be on shoes. It's easy to vacuum, and the price was a bargain as I bought it during the recent Memorial Day sale. I highly recommend it.
