Beautiful rug- very thin. As this is a silk-imitator fabric if you have a dog, cat, kids, like drinking liquids, have feet or a husband-this may not be for you. Water changes the texture of this rug. If there is any type of mark you want to clean off you will end up with a rough spot that is much, much brighter than the rest of the rug around it-even when you only use luke warm soap bubbles, dab it and go in the direction of the nap. I've only had it for 2 months but feel it wont be around much longer. Sad day.
