This rug looks so beautiful in my living room which is a very high traffic area of the house.  The colors are beautiful and coordinate well with the flooring and wall colors to stand out without looking out of place.  I haven't had any issues with it getting stained even with people constantly eating in the living room and sometimes dirty shoes enter the house and the baby hasn't been able to see or pick any fuzz off.  It's also very comfortable to walk on barefoot and the size is perfect for the room with the furniture we have in there.
