This rug is absolutely gorgeous! Very soft and more plush than anticipated, and I do think it will hide stains well. Was hesitant initially because of one review that said the rug is black/dark red and not good. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. It’s all about the paint and lighting, so if your walls are overall very dark and lighting is not good, then obviously the rug will look dark... This is a great transitional rug that will go with A LOT of different styles. I never post rug reviews but I thought I would on this one because it’s so good. I just laid the rug down, so will take a couple of days to lay flat but I do not think it will be an issue. We moved into a house with a gray/brownish tile floor so finding a rug with the right colors has been an issue but this one is Fantastic!
