This rug is easy to wash because it is kind of thinner than most woven rugs. Even though it is thin, it seems like it will withstand wear and tear, so tough enough to last a while. I'll have to see it over time, though. The color and pattern are very neutral, so I imagine it will work well with most furniture and floor styles. If you're looking for something eye-catching, this is not it. However, if you want understated elegance and comfort, this one does very well for the price.
