I have had this rug for about 8 months and already need to replace it. When it arrived it was super soft and plush, but over time it has worn down completely in areas we stand frequently (it's in the nursery so in front of the changing table for instance). The rest of it just looks worn. Also, be aware, when it first arrived I almost sent it back because it looks more light yellow and brown than cream and black, but it wasn't worth the hassle. Now I'm wishing I had returned it then.
