I had just purchased a home from the early 1900s, with the original beautiful wooden flooring. I also have a 200 lb dog. I needed something nice that would not harm my dog and protect my beautiful floors. I tried a very expensive carpet but my dog kept getting his paws snagged. I was ready to give up when I found this. Its elegant and pet friendly. Easy to clean and vacuum. No snags. My dog and I are very happy to not only return the rug that caused him some pain and replace with this rug for a 3rd of what I paid. It looks and feels great. Easy and light weight. I was able to place without issues or assistance. It was here in two days. Awesome find and buy.
