We buy ALOT of area rugs, we usually replace every year --- 4 kids, 3 pets and a lot of traffic-- We were looking for something that would surpass the quality of previous purchases but with the same bang for the buck. This rug is ALOT! softer than other purchases between 100 and 200, (about 8x10) and the greatest appeal is that the pattern will literally hide ANY stain. Another bonus is after seeing the color quality, it can definitely blend with a huge range of color schemes and styles. Totally satisfied!
