Absolutely love, love this rug!  It is exactly what I was looking for to use in our family room.  I love the texture it add and the casualness of the rug by the use of the denim and jute makes it feel like just like your favorite well worn pair of jeans.  Some other's might not like the fraying but that's what makes me love it even more.  I don't have a problem vacuuming  when my vacuum is set on the bare floor setting.  I am considering purchasing a rug pad to put underneath but not sold yet on if it's needed.  It doesn't really slide around since I have furniture sitting on it but I could see if used in an open area you would like want one.
