I’m really happy with this purchase! I wasn’t sure what to expect from this relatively low-priced rug. When I get down on the floor and look really closely, I can tell it’s a polyester mat with a pattern printed on it. But, it’s so convincing! It really looks like the pattern is woven. Other pros the pattern is very forgiving—it doesn’t show lint, etc., even in a high traffic area, and my cats have no interest in scratching it—I think the smooth texture doesn’t tempt them. 

I’ve only had this for two weeks, so I can’t to the durability, but so far I’m pleased!
