I love the look of this rug, it’s beautiful. I did buy a cheaper gorilla grip to keep it in place as my dog likes to run and slide on it. It’s also kind of thin so the pad under it makes it feel more lush. It’s fairly easy to vacuum if you hold one foot on the end of it. Occasionally small pieces will come off of it but you don’t notice and it may be because my dog likes to rub all over it. Overall would buy again.
