This rug is doing what I specifically wanted it for. I was using a true Persian rug in my entryway, which was causing significant damage to said rug! This new rug is inexpensive, pretty and it's cool if it gets damaged. I could just get another one. I would say that you should probably tell prospective buyers to make sure that they measure the area that they intend to cover. This is a little smaller than it could be. But I am happy with it!
