Don't do it. The rug looks great, and if you are looking for an affordable way to stylishly cover your floor, you could be tempted to buy this rug. RESIST! I bought it, and in our (shoe-free, pet-free, smoke-free) home, it looked awful and filthy within just two months. Not even 6 months after buying it, I'm considering renting a steam cleaner so that I can clean it and sell it to be rid of the darn thing. To top it off, the areas that get more foot traffic (from being in the doorway) have really matted up and look terrible. This rug does not stand up to mild wear and tear. Wish I could get my money back.
