I love this rug. Is it possible to be in love with a rug? If so, I am. It really ties my room together. The pattern is bold, but it isn't overwhelming, even with all of the other patterns in my living room. Even with a 3-year-old who likes to get Play-Doh all over the floor as well as food, it is holding up quite well. I can see a teensy bit of fading in the white where we walk a lot, but I think a good clean would take care of it. I wholeheartedly recommend buying it. Great price too!
