This rug is gorgeous, and feels very durable. It's like a carpet, but looks knitted. It seems like if you or your kid (s) or fur-kid(s) accidentally stained it, this would be totally safe to clean, even if you scrubbed it. 3 stars because these bumps will NOT come out yet. We've had it a week... We rolled it every way opposite of the curl. We weighed it down on the corners and all over. We're going to try a steam mop next (which I saw seemed to work in someone else's review.) I hope we get these bumps out, we really love the design and quality you get for the price. The color is like a neutral green color, much closer to a dull teal that goes well with the other gray/beige tones it has. See photos for better details. Sorry if the lighting is bad or you see boxes in the photos... We just moved in and haven't even installed lights yet. I hope this helps!
