I absolutely love the colors/design of this rug! We hoped to use it in our living room but after about 3 weeks of family use it was not wearing very nicely, lots of balled up fabric pieces and snags/pulls where the dogs had snuggled up against it. We had to move it to a lower traffic area of the house before we created too much wear and tear. I still love it, just wasn't good for our house in the living room but it works great in the dining room. It is thin, so a rug pad is really important for keeping it in place.
