The rug is beautiful but you can not get it clean with a vacuum. The "rocks" are raised up and the dirt and pet hair fall into the areas between the "rocks" and remain untouched. There are also 3 or 4 places around the perimeter that are not supported by the material between the "rocks". This is clearly shown in the pictures but it seems more pronounced in real life. I would still purchase the rug again but for the 2 reasons listed I took off one star.
