We really like the design of this rug for our entry. It’s crisp and neat and the colors are great. It definitely needs a mat to keep it in place. Time will tell if it can hold up to the traffic and how dirty it will get since the center is rather light in color. The rug had two imperfections that I included in the photos. This was disappointing but it’s too much of a hassle to return. I hope I will get used to it and stop noticing it every time I walk by- the y are small. I assume the rug will smooth out and we won’t see the two creases after a while- it has been two days since I unrolled the rug. Overall we are pleased.
