I was really pleasantly surprised by this rug. It's a really gorgeous & very high quality rug. I ordered the 8'x11' for our dining room & in the words of the dude, it really ties the room together. It feels plush under my feet & over Thanksgiving, everyone was complimenting the rug. We've had it for 3 months now and it has held up great. We had one spill on it that was easily cleaned up. The only tough part was getting the corners to relax-- that took a solid month, but now that they're down, I couldn't be happier.
