I have had this beautiful rug 2 years now, still looks new! Excellent quality!!! I have 3 cats that LOVE this rug so much. I vacuum it every other day. I steam clean it every few months. I suggest purchasing  The more expensive rug pad to place underneath the rug because it adds to the overall thickness and comfort when walking on it. I never see pieces of carpet that have come out of the fabric. This is an extremely well-made  Product. It is worth every dollar which I spent on it.
