I am using this rug as a runner for our front hall. It is very durable and super cute. I think it is a great addition and will last through the Chicago Winter which I'm happy about. This review would have 5 stars if I didn't have some trouble receiving the rug. I had to call to get an update on shipping as it never arrived and my tracking didn't show any details. Customer service was wonderful though and it seemed like it was a manufacturer problem which can't always be helped. I appreciated the direct contact possibility of email and phone to get back in contact with the very same customer service rep I spoke to the first time around regarding the question
