I’ve had this rug about 3 months now and I’m very happy I have it under my stove and dishwasher and I’m sure it has some stains but they can’t be seen because the natural variations hide any flaws well. I was concerned about difficulty when vacuuming because my other runner would get “sucked up” especially at the corners but this rug has given me no problems even with my hand held Dyson on high. It’s got a perfect height to it as well it’s just enough to give my feet a break from the hardwood but not thick enough to be a tripping hazard it also lays flat in the corners no curling up. My only con is that I was hoping that it was a stronger color green because my white kitchen is boring and needs more accent colors but overall I’m very happy with this purchase
