Very happy with the purchase. Although I wish it had some type of subtle classic pattern (ie paisley, herringbone, etc), I'm very happy with the rug itself. It vacuums very well (with a strong vaccum only though!) and most importantly to me - does not shift and does not absorb odors easily! I used to have fancier area rugs by the entrance of my home. And while they are prettier to look at, this particular rug is better suited for the tough demands of a front door entrance to a family of 6 and two large dogs. Word to wise - pick a medium color otherwise everything will (ironically) show. I chose Navy and every little dog hair (one is a Golden) and leaf particle (height of Fall) shows up on this carpet. If I had chosen medium gray or blue, it would have faired better (hence the desire for a pattern as well).
