Let me just say I LOVE this rug. It looks great in my foyer by the front door. However, it's a different kind of texture and every leaf, piece of dirt, crumb, etc. sticks to it. First I noticed the roomba wasn't picking stuff up. So, I pulled out the Dyson. Same problem In a house with kids and people coming in and out all the time, this might be a deal breaker for me.
