I've been looking for an area rug that is big on quality but yet affordable. Not only did I find both of these attributes in this rug, but it is also very handsome. It really does check off all the boxes as far as an area rug is concerned. This rug looks right at home in my hardwood floored living room. I've only had it for a short-time but I can say in that time, it has stood up to the usual abuse that my active family (and cat) inflicts on our rugs. It stands up well to vacuuming too. This rug is definitely a value that is hard to beat.
