This rug makes me smile. I needed a durable rug that could take some abuse while at the same time look attractive in my high energy art studio. Granted I’ll probably still throw a drape under my easel but if an errant pastel manages to fly from my grasp, (it happens!), and hit the rug the color it leaves behind will hopefully be indistinguishable with all the rug colors. And it will soften the stress on my feet and back from standing for hours. Also, big bonus, the price was right. Here’s to creativity!
