I've had this rug for about 18 months, and out of all the rugs I've had in that spot, it has stood up to time, 2 dogs, 1 teenager and a husband doing outdoor projects. It's in my laundry room/mud room and is easy to clean, roll up and shake outside and hose off if needed. It is not soft and fluffy, and I wouldn't describe walking on as any different than walking on hardwood.  It adds a pop of color to my room, and it still looks brand new after a lot of use, and that's what we needed.
