I received this rug about a week or so back but just put it down 3 or 4 days ago. I really thought by just looking at it, in the packaging, that it might not hold up. After putting it on the floor I was actually very surprised at the thickness of it.  I have walked on it quite a few times now and I am pretty impressed that I now feel it is going to hold up for quite a long time. I also thought it was going to leave fibers all over the hardwood floor but there hasn't been any at all! Another thing I noticed when I put it down was that it was warped and I didn't think it was going to lay down but I actually put it on the floor upside down from the tag and within a day it payed down perfectly. I think I will be very happy with this rug!
