I bought this rug about 6 months ago and while I do love the design and think its a beautiful rug I have noticed that it fades over time, the sections of the rug that are covered by furniture that don't get foot traffic and are vacuumed with the attachment and not rolled on regularly are noticeably darker and more vibrant than the rest of the rug. Also I have a cat and she seems to really love to scratch this rug in particular and it snags very easily and has several very noticeable runs and snags in it now. Most likely I will be replacing it when I get the chance and won't be repurchasing one of the washable rugs due to these two issues.
