As far as rugs go, you usually get what you pay for. My wife and I needed an affordable rug to go under our bed. Something that we wouldn't mind if it got some black dog hair on it. Basically we aren't expecting that this rug will last more than a year or two- if we are lucky, and we are okay with that. This rug does not feel like anything fancy. In fact, it feels quite cheap with edges that look like they will come unraveled in the weeks to come. When we graduate to an adult rug, we will likely go to a specialty shop. All that being said, this rug is pretty much what we expected it to be, and we are good with it.
