I love the feel of this rug. We have it infront of our fireplace in the living room and that's where we end up in the evenings playing boardgames. It feels luxurious and genuine (which it is!) and super cozy on bare feet. We got it without the anti-slip rug, and it sits just fine on the floor (we got the 7x9). I have not yet had to clean off any spills, so cannot comment as to ease of keeping clean.
