This rug is gorgeous and so very soft. Our busy family is full of pups and awaiting a baby, so we purchased this rug knowing it would inevitably be stained at some point and the price was great. Within a few days of having it, a dog got super sick on it. But the stain was immediately able to be cleaned up and the rug is good as new! Moral of the story: This rug is a wonderful price for the piece and is easy to clean. So no stressing about having beautiful furniture even if you have furry friends and littles in your home.
