Love this rug. I ordered several to redo my stairs from my garage (the pattern is great if you don't need to do any turns!). When I needed a durable new rug to make my living room cozy for my puppy, I couldn't find one that I liked better than this one.  It looks great, and although it isn't soft or plush, it works perfectly for us. You'll definitely need a pad to prevent it from slipping.
